At the conclusion of the agenda, Randy Wyse, President of the Jacksonville Association of Firefighters Local 122, made a presentation about various operational changes/cuts that took place in the Fire and Rescue Department’s operations over the previous weekend as a response to the City’s current year budget difficulties.  In the union’s opinion the changes were imposed on very short notice and threatened both firefighter and public safety.  The committee engaged in considerable discussion about the particular changes imposed on the Fire Department and other City departments and about the broader subject of budget constraints and appropriate responses in general.
