Crescent City is planning to use Measure S funds to make major improvements to the fire department, including hiring more full-time employees. In a special workshop meeting Monday, Fire Chief Bill Gillespie and City Manager Eric Weir presented the fire departmentâs needs and goals to the Measure S Oversight Committee and the city council. They recommended using 25% of the projected Measure S revenue, or $325,000, to add more full-time positions, implement a âsleeperâ program, expand volunteer recruitment and incentives, as well as fund maintenance of equipment. Measure S is a one-cent sales tax projected to bring in $1.3 million in revenue.Â
