Trustees heard a detailed fire-department report noting that a renewal of the department's levy passed with 66.72% of the vote. The chief said the passage was an endorsement of department services and that the department closed $103,502.50 in grant funding for 2025, up from approximately $29,300 in 2024 and zero in 2023.

Operational metrics supplied to trustees included 418 incidents so far this year (up 50 from last year) and an average response time of one minute, 53 seconds. The chief reported completion of hydrant servicing and station inspections and 835 hours of training year-to-date. He said those measures matter for ISO insurance certification and community safety.

Trustees approved a PO to Roderick M. Hub for medical direction services (covering 07/01/2025–12/31/2025) in the amount of $6,000 (fund 2281) after a motion and second. Trustees later approved a PO to Fire Safety Services Inc. for $5,982 to purchase rechargeable packs and batteries for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), with $5,500 from a newly established fund and $482 from fund 2111. Both motions were approved by voice vote.

The chief and trustees discussed the recent failure of Ross Township's levy and possible effects on mutual aid and EMS transports. The chief said he has a real-time monitor that will alert staff to changes in transports and mutual-aid patterns and that he will report any emerging pattern to the trustees. He reiterated that mutual aid remains an important part of local emergency response but said mutual aid should not be used as a staffing substitute.

No ordinance or policy change was adopted; trustees approved the procurement requests presented.
