Muskego Fire Agreement Won't Include Reports

Underlining a particularly contentious evening for the Common Council Tuesday night, debate over an agreement with the centered on whether the city should pay $4800 for Crystal reporting, which provides data on the number of people involved in calls for service.

Tracy Snead, who chairs the Public Safety Committee, said the reports provide a greater amount of detail to the city, including response times and the number of people who respond to any call.  While she and others felt the additional expense may not be warranted as the department already receives a state report, others felt the expense was minimal and was one-time only.

"I'm trying to figure out what we would do with this additional information anyway," said Alderman Noah Fiedler. "If the department can just forward us a copy of the report they from the state, I think that would be enough."

Response times are also included on current reporting, which was the main focus to determine how well the department is serving the city.

The change to the actual agreement strikes out the number of personnel from the required reporting.  An additional change made at council included the change in the effective dates to coincide with the city's budget cycle.
