"Renton, Washington. March 23, 1946. To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council of the City of Renton. Gentlemen: It is with a deep feeling of regret that we, the members of the Renton Volunteer Fire Dept- artment, are compelled to write this letter of protest against the action of those of you gentle- men who have completely disregarded the recommen- dation of our department for the purchase of a fire truck. Since the institution of the Renton Volun- teer Fire Department there has never been of record an action such as this. There has always been a whole-hearted co-operation between the Arlayor, Council and the Fire Department concerning the purchase of equipment. In the past there have been differences of opinion, but these have been amicably threshed out and the City Officials have worked with the Fire Department to build a better equipped Fire Station and a Volunteer Department second to none. At the present time there are twenty-three volunteer members and nine paid members in the Fire Department. The nine paid members receive almost twenty five thousand dollars each year; the twenty- three Volunteer members cost the City one dollar each for each fire that they respond to. This amount has never exceeded six hundred and forty dollars in any one year. Your action in this instance is very con- fusing to the Volunteer members of the Department. It is the first time in the history of this Department that such action has occurred and it raises a number of questions in the minds of the members: First: Is this action taken to let the Department know that they are not competent to recommend the type of fire equipment necessary to the best in- terests of our City? Second: Has any previous act by the Fire Department caused the City Council to question the ,judgment exercised by the Department in the past in procu- ring equipment? Third: Why has the Fire Department not been exten- ded the courtesy by Council members of an explanation of their intended action which disregarded our recoemendations? Fourth: Is the intent of this action to eventually result in the enforced disbandment of the Volunteer Department? These questions are asked of the City Officials by the members of the Fire Department to clarify their position in future relation with the City. The enviable success of the Renton Volunteer Fire Department in maintaining low insurance rates for the City has been the result of complete accord between the Fire Department and the City Government . We of the Fire Department still desire to continue this successful record. However, to do so, we must have the full co-operation of the City Officials. Our recommendation to you was the result of many meetings where all specifications and bids were thoroughly discussed. By a vote of twenty to two the Fire Department approved the selection of the truck recommended, feeling this truck to be the best equipment suited to the needs of the Fire Department and the City of Renton. Therefore, at this time, we iqca is s ask the City Council to reconsider our recommendation as submitted. Very truly yours, RENTON VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT. BY: JOSEPH P. CONARD Secy.

Mayor Burrows requested anyone in the audience who wish.ec to place any business or question before the council, to do so at this time. Mr. Vernon Olson, 208 - Renton Highlands, stated that he vras representing a Croup of residents now occupying the permanent homes, wished to discuss two vitally important subjects. The first being the proposed installation of water meters at these homes. This according to Mr. Olson, appears to be an attempt to in- crease the rental on each unit, and that the group he represented believed that the Ilousing, Authority should continue to supply water as they are at the present time. In regard to the sale of the permanent homes in Renton Highlands , the prevailing opinion, stated Mr. Olson, of those now living in the permanent homes, is that the City of Renton, under a plan proposed and sponsored by other similar communities, should endeavor to create a City-of-Renton-low-cost Housing Project. Council action on this question was requested by the spokesman for the delegation present. Mr. Dale Jialoney, a resident of Cedar River Park, supported Mr. Olson in the request for some action by the C _ty Government. ,'Zr. Paul Hanson - 423 - Renton Highlands, a long time resident in the development, stated he believed that in the event the units are sold, the length of residence should be taken into con- sideration, particularly as to price and terms. Mayor Burrows informed the spolcesmen and the delegation that considerable consideration had been given to this problem by the City Planning Commission and Council members , and the General conclusion was that the City of Renton should not go into the dousing business. The Renton Highlands being an emergency project, which was provided by the Federal Government during the war, is con- tinued under Federal operation. ~Tien the homes are sold the F.H.A. , will have complete jurisdiction over appraisals, prices and terms. The 1-layor further suggested a possible solution might be obtained by writing congressional representatives , urging them to amend present legislation in order to meet the needs of communities such as ours. The delegation were informed that no action could be taken in regards to installation of water meters, until approved by the Housing Authority and report back by the Committee. Councilman Tambor:i_ni stated the entire City of Renton recognizes the seriousness of the problem and suF;gested trat the 'Mayor and members of the City Council be included in a Committee to further investigate and report their findings to the representatives of the citizens of the Renton Highlands and Cedar River Park. 328 ' "loved -by Lawrence , seconded by Baxter, that the matter be referred to the City Council as a whole for investigation and report baclr.

Rouser, Jr. , Executive Director of the dousing Authority, they were advised that �+ the matter of eliminating this trouble, should be proposed to the City Council for consideration. The estimated cost of a speaker system installed would be approximately p125.00 and that in order to expedite the installation, lAbor has been promised by the Housing Authority. Moved by Richardson, seconded by Pugh, that this matter be referred to the Property Committee and the City Attorney for investigation and report back. Carried. A Representative of the Renton Recreational Council, reported the necessity for a foot bridge across the River at the Logan Street bridge, which was recently damaged by the flood.
