Summary

Volunteer fire department representatives asked to salvage kitchen and laundry equipment, stainless counters, lockers and a standby generator from the old hospital for use in a new station; commissioners requested an itemized list and coordination with the museum to avoid conflicts.

Representatives of the volunteer fire department told the commission they identified commercial kitchen fixtures, washers/dryers, stainless counters, wall-mounted sinks, lockers and a standby generator in the decommissioned hospital that would be useful in outfitting the department's new facility. The department requested permission to inventory and remove usable items and offered to dispose of items that proved unserviceable.

Commissioners asked the fire department and the museum to coordinate and prepare an itemized list for county approval so removals do not compromise the building's structure or conflict with museum needs. County staff reminded participants to note timelines for removal and whether utilities (water/electric) remain active; the board agreed an organized list and scheduled removal would protect property and ensure transparent transfers.

No formal vote was required; staff directed the departments to compile a list and provide a timeline for when items would be moved.
