Council approves $380,687 for fire station improvements with state grant support
Summary
Council passed ordinance 38-2025 to appropriate up to $380,687 for fire station improvements and authorized a contract with Millstone Management Group; Mayor credited a state senator for helping secure a $500,000 grant for the project.
The City of 7 Hills City Council on July 29 passed ordinance 38-2025, authorizing a contract with Millstone Management Group and appropriating up to $380,687 for fire-station improvements. Council adopted the ordinance as an emergency measure.
Mayor Tony Biaseata thanked State Senator Jerry Serino during the meeting for assistance securing $500,000 in state funds for the fire-station repairs and called the award the largest capital improvement grant he had seen in his time working with the city.
The ordinance authorizes a contract with Millstone Management Group for the fire-station improvements project and declares an emergency so work can proceed. Council approved the emergency clause and the final passage in roll-call votes recorded in the public minutes.
Why it matters: The appropriation and contract set in motion repairs at a critical public-safety facility; the funding mix includes the state grant referenced by the mayor and local appropriations to cover project costs. Council asked that project details and timelines be provided by the administration and engineering staff as work proceeds.
