Second John F Kennedy quote"WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON IN THIS DECADE AND DO OTHER <br />THINGS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD." <br />Now for whateverdirection we may or may not go,you can not get there unless you are well grounded <br />in knowing where you are at.We need to know the true cost of Fire Services.These would include <br />Operational, Capital, Debt Service,facilities..and others? <br />The good news is these are all items/numbers currently in our finance director's wheelhouse.Timely as <br />we are currently preparing for our next budget cycle. We would be asking Hannah to just compile data <br />she already has. <br />Let me end by stating loud and clear that the most important aspect of this conversation is centered on <br />looking forward. In Kennedy's second quote again it said "Let us accept our own responsibility for the <br />future"This conversation is about looking forward--it is about possibilities! <br />For those inside these walls and for within walls that stretch across our neighboring communities let it <br />be know in these conversations EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE.I repeat EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE! <br />Any and all conversations will be grounded in TRUST. Lino Lakes will have no conditions or pretenses <br />again EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE. <br />In first responder speak it's time for us in this room "TO ANWSER THE CALL" <br />Let us demonstrate our leadership with the same courage and strength of purpose of our first <br />responders! <br />Let's answer the call!!! <br />Councilmember Lyden <br />54
