The City Council formally voted to restore the funding for Station 5. We will monitor the upcoming budget implementation to ensure these resources are allocated according to the new agreement.

Save Station 5! Tell the Chico city council to focus on Public Safety!
Final supporters
Tell the City Manager and City Council that we, the citizens of Chico, demand that they cut ALL public salaries by the same percentage when we must make up a budget deficit. Tell the Chico City Council that we should NOT spend $74,000 on 5 paintings for City Hall when we need only $95,000 to keep Station 5 open and the public safer.
Tell the Chico City Council that we demand that our tax dollars go to Public Safety before higher salaries for any public employee. We need to make sure our public employees are focused on our greater good and safety. There are many other wasteful expenditures that we should cut before we allow them to close a fire station and cut off a vital public saftey service to thousands of citizens.
Did you know that a fire doubles in size every 5 minutes? Every minute counts when it comes to response times, and now too many citizens are without a fire station close to them.
We pay for those basic services with our tax dollars. Please sign this petition and share it with your friends who live in Chico if you want the City of Chico to re-open Station 5. By doing this, you will tell the Chico City Council that they should be focused on preserving the safety of the citizens of Chico when making budget cuts.
Please sign and share with your friends. If enough of us sign it, they can't ignore us.

I have submitted a formal request for an itemized breakdown of the city's recent expenditures on decor. My team is also drafting a letter to the City Manager demanding an explanation for the budget cuts at Station 5.

5 paintings for city hall?? absolute joke. put that money into keeping the station open where it actually helps people.
Chico council is completely out of touch with what we actually need. Fix the budget and stop the waste.
Burkland needs to go. Its always the fire department that gets hit first while city hall wastes cash.
We already pay enough in taxes. Why are they cutting life saving services to pay for art? My neighborhood needs that coverage.
If a house fire hits near us every second matters. Cutting the budget for art is just plain stupid.
