Mobile veterinarian asks to plug into Meadow fire-station power for monthly clinic
Summary
Dr. Katrina James, a Holden-based veterinarian, requested permission to use town power at Meadow's fire station to run a mobile clinic roughly every couple of months, offering to reimburse the town for about eight hours of hookup and saying the van needs a 20‑amp connection; council did not record a vote.
Dr. Katrina James identified herself as a veterinarian operating a mobile clinic based in Holden and asked the Meadow Town Council for permission to set up at the town fire station about once every couple of months to provide veterinary care for Meadow and nearby communities.
She told the council her van has been inspected by electrical engineers but the generator "needs a new carburetor" and the vehicle requires a 20‑amp power hook‑up. James said she is "more than willing to enter into an agreement to reimburse for the 8 hours or so that the van would be hooked up" and proposed Jan. 23 as a possible first clinic date. She offered to answer questions but no council motion or vote was recorded; the presiding officer thanked her and the meeting proceeded to accounting reports.
The request raised no recorded objections in the meeting transcript. If the council votes to permit a connection at the fire station, staff should clarify technical requirements (metering, insurance, exact reimbursement terms and whether the hook‑up affects fire station operations) before a permit or agreement is executed.
