Staff Report - Fire Service Operations - Fire Chief Landon Whatley Chief Landon Whatley came today to talk about the Fire Operations for the city. Landon had a PowerPoint showing them how they can become a firefighter. He also explained the difference in the city fire departments and what they require and how it may be different. Landon wanted to educate the commission on how they can become a firefighter and or EMT Paramedic which is required to be become a firefighter. Landon also explained that the EMT Paramedic class could come here at the school if they push for this to have at the school so that they can come out of high school as an EMT paramedic. This could be very beneficial. The problem they run into is finding a coordinator to run the program. He also explained the importance of the paramedics on the ambulance and what they can do. They do more than an emergency room on that ambulance. He wants them to know that becoming a firefighter/EMT will open so many doors for them in a career. The commission agrees that this should be talked about more at the school so that this Program could possibly come to the school for any students looking into these types of professions.  2. Staff Report - Financial Report February 2025 Craig did not present a report for this agenda item. 3. Forest Hill Mayor's Youth Advisory Summit Craig stated that we had one come to the Summit which was Sierra Sibley. They had a great time, and they had cities like Burleson and Mansfield with their commission. They shared some things that they are working on and some things that they do. These commission's do orientations where they go out to the Fire Department, and they see how everything works. This is definitely something that the Commission would love to do. Also, Craig stated that they have talked about how the communication with the school and the city and that needs to be worked on. Craig has come up with the idea of coming up with a podcast. This would allow the information to get out to everyone and have certain guest appear on the show as well to help get the listeners. This podcast could be pushed out over all social media as well. This is also an avenue to some money and relationships with the podcast. 4. MYAC Initiative - Community Rec Center Craig wants to keep this brief since Grossman will be here next week and he needs everyone to be here. Also, he needs them to put their mind to work on what their vision is on the Rec Center.
