Ravena Village board approves fire‑department officers and pays $81,490.59 in audited bills
Summary
The board approved the fire department’s newly elected officers and voted to pay audited vouchers totaling $81,490.59; the fire report noted 18 calls for service in the reporting month and 66 year‑to‑date.
At the May 5 meeting the board accepted a written report from the fire department and approved two motions by voice vote.
Chair summarized the fire report submitted by Kevin Phillips: 18 calls in the reporting month (including one fire, three EMS calls, three motor‑vehicle incidents, multiple alarms and brush fires) and 66 calls year‑to‑date. The department completed five training sessions and continues to prioritize recruitment amid daytime volunteer staffing challenges. Chair read the results of the department’s April 7 officer elections and moved that the board, in its capacity as commissioners, approve the listed officers. The list read by the Chair included: Chief Kevin Phillips; Deputy Chief Travis Whitbeck; Captain Mike Maddock; First Lieutenant Jack Morrow; and Chief Engineer Harry Stannard. The motion was seconded and approved by voice assent; the board recorded affirmative responses from attending trustees.
Separately, a trustee moved to pay audited bills for abstract 12‑1‑26 (vouchers 12‑1 through 12‑28) in the amount of $81,490.59. That motion was seconded and also approved by voice assent. The meeting did not include a roll‑call tally in the record; the transcript records multiple trustees responding "yes."
