Subject: SAFER grant
As a firefighter of over 18 years in the City of Anaheim, I’d like to thank you in advance for what I hope will be a vote to
accept this opportunity for the SAFER grant.
During my career in Anaheim, I’ve seen our staffing levels decrease while our annual calls for service nearly double.
These calls, along with the added risk of the huge daily influx of tourists visiting Disneyland, the Convention Center,
Angel Stadium, and the Honda Center stretches our fire department resources very thin. Additional staffing that would
be financed with this grant is much needed and I hope will be supported by this city council.
Respectfully,
Todd Needle
