Council to move transfer of old fire vehicle to legislative session after no fire representative present
Summary
Public safety committee discussed Resolution 17 (2025) to transfer an old vehicle from a paid fire company to a volunteer fire company. The committee agreed to place the resolution on the legislative agenda so the item can be voted on when fire representatives attend.
The public safety committee discussed Resolution 17 of 2025, a proposed transfer of an older fire vehicle from a paid fire company to a volunteer fire company. Committee members said the vehicle is very old and estimated a valuation in the low thousands; the transfer was described as allowed to qualified volunteer companies without a public-bid process for public property.
No representative from the fire bureau attended the work session to answer questions. Committee members discussed procedural options — either defer to committee for another meeting or move the resolution to the legislative session and, if necessary, withdraw it later if representatives do not attend. The chair and other members agreed to place Resolution 17 on the legislative agenda to allow a vote there; if fire personnel fail to appear for the legislative meeting, councilors can withdraw the item.
No formal roll-call vote on the transfer occurred in the work session transcript. The public safety committee’s decision was procedural: refer Resolution 17 to the legislative agenda so it can be considered with fire-representative attendance.
