Some very <br />small print in the instructions for submitting comments section at <br />the bottom. It was difficult to find this place to submit comments <br />online, the QR codes don't get you there. Seems like you don't <br />really want to hear from the residents. <br />That said, I think the city should stay with the Long Lake Fire <br />Department. They have done a great job for many years. <br />Apparently, you don't think so, but you hired away the Fire Chief <br />from the department that you didn't think was doing a good job! <br />What is broken at Long Lake Fire Department? Why do you think <br />you could do a better job? How much would it cost for Orono to <br />start from scratch setting up its own fire department, and how <br />many mistakes would be made? I have heard numbers like $25 <br />million passed around. The city has a contract with Long Lake <br />and should keep it. The city council has much more important <br />things that they should be concerned with. <br />I hope other residents comment and that all comments are <br />posted online. I don't know anyone who is in favor of this. <br />Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
