Subject: Fire Department (GET IT DONE!!!)
Hello, My name is Ben Ames and I have been a resident of Otsego for nearly 25 years. I have seen the city
grow through the years and have thoroughly enjoyed living here. That said I think that we're long overdue
for our own fire department. I fully understand that it will cost some money, but things will not get any
cheaper if we wait. The cost for residents (per resident) , in the grand scheme, over time, is minimal,
although Mr. Dunlop seems to be fear mongering the residents of Otsego.
I have spoken with most of my neighbors and not one of them is opposed to a new Otsego Fire
Department.
Incidentally, my family has had occasion to call on a fire department (ER responded) and while all family
members we OK we did lose a pet.
Please get it done!
Respectfully,
Ben Ames
