East Wayne Fire Industry Case Study

* Abby Gordon is a member of the County Council’s Land Use Committee and the only opposing member to the two amendments during the Land’s Use Committee meeting. Since she already opposed the two amendments in the past she will probably cast the same vote during the County Council meeting.

I would have rather paid a measly 200.00 to the government than to have Proposition 13. This is a slap in the face as a teacher, they are truly hurting the wrong things. Most people knew that it would do this and it did. I was resentful and how many ways can we express ourselves? I thought this was like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. What was even worse was that it undercut and there had to be reductions to meet constraints and we had to go backwards. Also the two-thirds vote should have been majority. Another impact was that other states followed California and the taxpayers wanted to send a message, I believe Oregon passed one. There is only one way to get around this proposition and that is mellow rues."

A scheduled vote on Baton Rouge Republican Steve Carter’s “Gas Tax” bill was postponed Wednesday amid concerns that it did not have the necessary support for House passage. Set to raise the State’s tax on gasoline by 17 cents per gallon, the measure would raise upwards of $500 million each year for transportation and infrastructure needs. HB632 would require a two-thirds majority for approval and current whip

On November 14, 2003, a fire was reported at the Greenhalgh Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The Pawtucket Fire Department was dispatched to the fire. One of the satellite stations, Cottage Street Fire Station, happened to be directly across the road from the old mill and could see first-hand that the fire was already fully engulfed. This fire rapidly spun out of control, destroying three mill buildings, thirteen homes, and damaging seventeen other structures before being contained. Twenty-one mutual aid departments from Rhode Island and Massachusetts were called in to assist the Pawtucket Fire Department. Looking at the article, Rhode Island and Massachusetts Units Converge on Pawtucket Mill Fire by Jay K. Bradish, from both the engine and truck company perspectives, in my opinion, the call for additional resources and an adequate supply of water were appropriately implemented, while the implementation of the Incident Command System and the accountability of fire personnel were handled improperly during this fire.

Then the local Fire Chiefs of the various fire departments recommended that the Board of Commissioners appoint/reappoint (7 total) to the Fireman's Relief Funds for another two years. This decision will also be announced during the next regular meeting.

During the city commission meeting votes were taken. The voting would occur verbally. All those in favor would have to say the word “I” right after they asked if they were in favor. It occurred often during the whole meeting. Most of the time there was one of the council members approving and second as well and they would move on to another subject right after they finished voting. There was one time where one of the commissioners neglected himself from saying any comments or being involved with the issue in any type of way. I did not understand what his reasons were for this

John Root presented a conditional use land division located at approximately 3025N 3400E. John Jesser wants to split approximately 2 acres from his 180 acre parcel to sell to the owner of Lot 16, Cottonwood Heights Subdivision. Commissioner Davis made a motion to approve the conditional land use division with the following condition:

The public hearing that potential would involve the family unit, was the rezoning of 693 acres, so that development of a residential area. The residential area is located by Almaville Road and Independence

In terms of the ballot questions, voters voted no to Ballot question No.1 , which according to the Committee of Seventy, would have enabled “the state legislature to pass a law allowing local school boards, municipalities and counties to exclude the entire value of each primary residence (homestead or farmstead) in their jurisdictions from taxation if they chose to do so,” meaning property taxes would be “significantly” reduced or eliminated in “those jurisdictions.”

Attorney Kevin Shenkman sent a letter to the City, the GCCD, and GUSD threatening to file a lawsuit, asserting that the election system of the three bodies violates the California Voting Rights Act of 2001. Shenkman wants the aforementioned bodies to create specific geographic council districts to replace the current at-large voting system.

The council approved Geldart, but four council members opposed, Charles Allen (D-Ward 6), David Grosso (I-At Large), Elissa Silverman (I-At Large), and Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8).

I truly enjoyed reading the material for this week 's discussion. I found it fascinating to read how these people of passion were so revered as leaders. Something I found difficult while reading the stories of these various leaders was the details of what they did within their respective industries that made them successful. Although I recognize the importance of the details, I found myself continually fanaticizing about how the many different approaches would directly translate to the fire service. Because of the uniqueness of the fire service as an industry, I found it easier to relate to themes and concepts rather than the details. 'Strengths Based Leadership ' by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie For example Simon Cooper stated: "people create memories, not things. If we ask guests what color the carpet was in their guest room, they probably won 't know. The real value comes from the ladies and gentlemen (employees) who bring that hotel to life. Ten percent is the platform, but the rest is people. (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 43) As I read this I couldn 't help but think of the fact that our customers in the emergency response world (fire service) likely remember more about how we treat them than what uniform we wear or what kind of apparatus we arrive in, so long as we bring true caring and compassion to their bedside. In addition Cooper 's people over platform approach was obvious in this Rath & Conchie description: "then when he talked of the night-and-day difference that a
