McComas suggested the City look into the possibility of se.lf-insurance for City vehicle Mr. Baldwin, Assistant to the City Manager, informed the Council some consideration had been given this matter in the past.

Planning Department. The City Manager requested that $7,000 be added to the Planning Department budget for cost of a special census.
Fire Department. The City Manager stated $15,000 was shown under Revenue Sharing in the original budget presented for a joint training program for firemen. The other cities have not indicated their willingness to participate, therefore this amount has been deleted
Fire Statjon.No., 3. Considerable discussion was given to the appropriate location for Fire Station No. 3. The City Manager pointed out the size of the City creates a problem and a higher cost per capita.
Cmn. M.cComas stated the fire rate in the City of Carlsbad will never be'reduced until such time as a third station is in op.eration, along with other re- quirements that will have to be met.
Some of the Councilmen expressed concern that if a station were built at the. Chestnut location as a tem-' porary measure it would become a permanent station, and the need in a few years would be to the south and east.
The City Manager noted the City does own the land at Chestnut Avenue and El Camino Real. There is a possi- bility the City can negotiate with the County for property along Palomar Airport Road. Anything that would be built now would probably be temporary. Mr. Bussey asked that he be given the opportunity to further review the Gage-Babcock Report, and that he 1 be directed to contact the -Gage-Babcock firm as to - its reas'ons for the .recammended location.
