BACKGROUND:
An initial proposal had been received on May 3rd for the unification of fire services with South Metro Fire Rescue (South Metro), Cunningham Fire Protection District and the three partners of Littleton Fire Rescue (fire partners); Highlands Ranch Metropolitan District, Littleton Fire Protection District and the city of Littleton. After review of the proposal, the fire partners agreed additional detail was necessary and sent a letter (Attachment 1) to South Metro making that request.
This study session is an opportunity for the council to discuss what additional issues or questions you want addressed in a revised proposal. The Center for Public Safety Management (CPSM) is retained by the city of Littleton to assist in the development of those questions and to evaluate a revised proposal once it is resubmitted by South Metro. CPSM will be present at the study session to facilitate the discussion.
Our fire partners of Highlands Ranch Metropolitan District and the Littleton Fire Protection District have already made a submittal back to South Metro. As reference, Attachment 2 lists their issues and questions.
In preparation for the council discussion, staff and CPSM have developed a proposed list of issues (Attachment 3) the council may wish to consider in a revised proposal. They are intended as suggestions to begin the conversation. The next steps after the study session would include staff working with CPSM to submit a final list to South Metro.
