Town conditions approval of fire department contract increase on written agreement and regular reporting
Summary
The council approved a proposed fire department contract increase contingent on the department providing a formal contract and monthly representation or written reports at meetings; action followed a request relayed by volunteer Dan Pennington.
The St. Paul Town Council approved a proposed 2025 contract increase for the volunteer fire department on the condition that the department submit a new written contract and provide a member to report at monthly meetings or submit a written report when attendance is not possible.
Clerk/Treasurer Alyssa Hall relayed the request from Dan Pennington and presented the proposed increase. The council voted to approve the increase conditionally and instructed the fire station to present a drafted contract at the next board meeting and to send written reports when a station representative cannot attend in person.
Council members framed the action as ensuring transparent budgeting and consistent communication between the fire station and town government. No dollar amount for the increase was recorded in the minutes.
