According to League of Women Voters member and all around political gadfly Jon Spangler, the City is considering placing a competing measure on the November ballot to go head to head with the Firefighter ballot initiative. The Firefighter led initiative would change the City Charter to mandate a minimum level of staffing for the department that would require the City to fund that department at the minimum level designated by the initiative.
