Specifically, we would anticipate National City's using our Granger Avenue fire station to serve Lincoln Acres and the eastern portion of your City; and a separate agreement with Chula Vista to serve the Shirley Street area (see attached map). We recognize the agreements will have to address a number of difficult issues and have requested the County of San Diego, through Supervisor Hamilton's office, to provide any technical assistance in drawing up the contractural_arrangements. Thank you for your ~avorable consideration of this request. If you have any questions, please contact me at 422-1251.
