City hears fire department monthly report; radios remain unfunded pending bid approvals
Summary
The fire department reported nine calls in December, ongoing training and a request to install new radios; one bid of $4,100 is pending approval, and department leaders said they have submitted documentation for an earlier accident-related request.
The city received a monthly report from its volunteer fire department noting nine calls in December — seven medical calls, one vehicle accident and one utility problem — with four calls inside city limits and five outside.
Department representatives said training remains the same as the prior month and that documentation for a rollover accident in September 2024 has been submitted to the requesting parties. The department also renewed a request to install replacement radios; the report said staff have been unable to obtain additional bids and are waiting on approval of a single bid for $4,100.
The report listed no other new major needs. Council members acknowledged the report and signaled the radio purchase would be discussed under new business and during budget conversations.
The department's tally and the outstanding radio bid were presented as informational; no formal vote on spending or equipment procurement was recorded in the transcript.
