Dear Mr. Hettinga:

Please be advised the North Westside Ratepayers Association, after conducting a poll of our members, does not support and in fact vigorously opposes the initiative and proposal to purchase a Fireboat for the North Westside Fire Protection area.

It is our understanding that there are various water craft in our area which could be contracted for at a much reduced cost rather than a purchase.

Further, we believe the manpower required to operate this watercraft as well as the need, extensive training and maintenance detrimentally outweighs any justification for such a craft.

It is our belief that the one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) as budgeted for would be better used in expanding our fire department through the purchase of more conventional firefighting equipment.

We trust our comments will be given serious consideration by the Board of Directors, the Firefighters Technical Committee and will vote accordingly when this matter again comes before council.

Sincerely,
North Westside Ratepayers Association
Allastair Fergusson
President
