I am a resident of Otsego and am absolutely against the formation of our own fire dept! We are well served by
surrounding departments and cannot afford to have this ridiculous wasteful spending of our hard earned tax dollars. We
are already taxed to death in this state and cannot afford more. We also cannot afford to loose the partnership with our
current coverage departments.
I have been blown away at how this decision has seemingly been made behind closed doors and against the majority of
otsego residents.
I have tried to follow the counsel meetings, but now we no longer have access to the minutes of meetings.
I as well as others are appalled that we have a fire chief on staff collecting a salary for how long now without citizens
approvals.
If you really cared about this city you would put this to a vote on the ballot in November! And let the residents speak.
Sincerely
Tony underwood
