Subject: Concerns with new Fire Chief
Hi, I am an El Segundo resident on the 400 block of Virginia Street.
I have concerns with the new proposed interim Fire Chief Robert Espinosa who will be discussed at tonight's council
meeting.
He retired six years ago from Manhattan Beach Fire Department after a vote of no confidence by 87% of the Manhattan
Beach Fire Fighters Association.
This is a no win our city and our Firefighters.
I would recommend appointing a current ESFD Battalion Chief for six months while the city conducts its search for
permanent Fire Chief.
Respectfully,
Tim Arnold
