HR City To Add Firefighter

The Hood River City Council approved bringing on another firefighter.  City Manager Steve Wheeler says the move was planned in the current fiscal year budget, but both staff and Councilors wanted to wait to make sure emergency medical services transfers would pay for it.  First quarter revenue confirmed they could move ahead.  However the City will wait at least another quarter to add a new position in the police department.  Wheeler says the plan is to use marijuana tax revenue for that person, but they want to get a better handle on where those monies will settle in at before moving forward.  He notes most of the uncertainty is at the state level.
