Recent fires in nearby <br />cities further underscore the need for such legislation. <br />Input from several concerned citizens, our own Fire <br />Department and the Public Safety Committee have all been utilized <br />in preparing this bill. <br />I believe it is in our community's public safety interest and <br />seek your support. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert G. Taylor <br />Chairman, Public Safety Committee <br />RGT /vld <br />
