Mr. Tippin & City of Redding Council Members;
We are long-time residents of Redding and we are very concerned about the
City of Redding Fire Department.
It appears that you are aware of the moral problems and low starting wages
for Redding Fire Department staff. Well paid and content fire and police
departments are a must in a well run progressive City. The City police have
met these goals, we fear you have left the Redding Fire Department far
behind.
It is embarrassing to know that when I retired from Sierra Pacific
Industries (non management) 10 years ago my wages were higher than what
is today's City fire fighter starting wage. This situation has hurt our city's
reputation as well as endangered the citizens. Please do whatever it takes
to keep the 10 lateral qualified firemen in Redding.
Thank you for reading this plea from concerned Redding homeowners.
