Council adopts ordinance renaming Baker Fire Station for James E. Carroll
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 2025-5 to rename the Baker Fire Station in honor of James E. Carroll after a public hearing with no public comment; vote was unanimous by district roll call.
The City Council of Baker voted May 27 to adopt Ordinance 2025-5, renaming the Baker Fire Station in honor of James E. Carroll.
After a brief procedural motion to place the ordinance under planning and zoning matters, the council opened a public hearing on the ordinance and read the public-comment rules that apply before votes on agenda items. No public commenters addressed the ordinance during the hearing. Councilmember Robert Young moved to adopt the ordinance; the council then took a district roll-call vote and recorded affirmative votes from all four districts. The motion carried.
The ordinance was introduced on May 13, 2025, and the council's action at this meeting completed the adoption step. The council applauded the renaming after the vote. The meeting record does not contain the ordinance text beyond the title, and no additional implementation details or dates for signage or dedication were provided on the public record.
No opposition or request for delay was recorded during the hearing or the vote.
