City Council Meeting Minutes September 1, 2020 <br />higher. There are physical barriers to response are there and city staff works <br />closely with the Texas State University and during new construction. Proximity <br />to the location impacts the response time anywhere. <br />Mayor Hughson asked why are some areas outside of the city included in the <br />travel times for fire response? Mr. Gilbert stated probably due to the timer <br />software and how far it can get but does include extraterritorial jurisdictions <br />(ETJ) for future projects to be considered. <br />Mayor Hughson wanted to remind all that when the slide shows 20-21 people <br />that is per shift and to determine the number of staff needed, we need to <br />multiply by the 3 shifts. <br />Mayor Hughson asked about mixed use buildings and what exactly is the <br />disadvantage or what is special about them regarding fire response. She is not <br />against mixed use, but wants to know what the complexities are. Mr. Gilbert <br />stated first story commercial with multiple floors especially if the commercial <br />includes restaurants. It can be handled, we just need to ensure that all safety <br />measures are in place. <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />2.
