Sulphur Springs fire chief reports donations, trainings and proposes modest run-fee adjustment
Summary
Fire Chief Josh Greer reported two trainings completed, seven donated air-packs and two financial donations; replacement hoses were donated, the tornado siren is due for pickup next week, and council indicated a potential change to the $10-per-run fee up to $12 is acceptable at the chief’s discretion if it stays within budget.
Chief Josh Greer delivered the fire-department report at the March 19 meeting, saying the department completed two trainings last week and received seven donated air-packs from the Benton County fire ward plus two financial donations. Greer said the cost to replace fire hoses has been donated, enabling the department to obtain new hoses in the near future.
Greer told the council the tornado siren will be picked up next week and installed as soon as possible. The council discussed whether the fire-run fee should be raised from the current $10 per run to $12; the council stated that the matter is at the fire chief’s discretion provided any increase remains within the department budget.
The police monthly report was also read by Josh Greer (recorded in the transcript as Capt. Josh Greer) and noted that a Tahoe had a radiator replacement. The transcript does not record a formal council vote on the fire-run fee at this meeting.
