“Let them eat cake”. The investment in the FPD headquarters is overdue and a needed investment in city infrastructure, however, as a relative of local law enforcement, the suggestion that solar canopies translate into any improvement in response times is insensitive to your officers and demonstrates a disconnect between the realities of available officer resources and the administration. Your frontline first responders are chronically overextended and insufficiently supported. This makes your officers and the public vulnerable. To suggest that reducing time spent on snow and ice removal will improve the current situation even marginally is so dismissive of your current situation and very disheartening. Public safety will not be improved by putting up solar canopies, please do not mislead yourselves or the public.
