8. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
a. Maplewood Resident, Joseph Waters asked if there was a way during the city meetings to do
picture in picture on the screen while a presentation is being made so people at home can
see who is speaking during the presentation. He also stated in his opinion it would be less
expensive in the CIP to tear down the old fire station rather than updating it. As a retired
fireman the fire trucks are so long and it’s difficult to get the trucks in and out the garages, the
fire bays really aren’t deep enough and the bathrooms aren’t ADA compliant.
