The Manchester Board Mayor & Aldermen approved an ordinance amendment to section 92.25 (annual fees) of the Code of Ordinances to increase the annual fee for all existing game well master fire alarm boxes during the board’s session on bills on second reading.

The transcript records the board identifying the item as “Item 1,” an ordinance amendment amending section 92.25 (annual fees) to increase the annual fee for the specified master fire alarm boxes. No dollar amount or schedule for the increased fee is recorded in the meeting transcript.
