Wymore council approves two fire department appointments, EMS training and advances fire-hall TIF process
Summary
The Wymore City Council approved two applicants to the volunteer fire department and authorized EMS staff travel for training, while City Attorney confirmed the fire-hall painting TIF application must go to the CRA for review. Actions on the fire and EMS items passed unanimously.
The Wymore City Council on June 21 approved two applicants to the volunteer fire department, authorized an EMS member to attend a regional training conference and received confirmation that a TIF application to paint the fire hall must go to the Community Redevelopment Authority for review.
Mayor Collin Meints opened the meeting and the council moved, by 4-0 votes, to approve the applications of Clifford Dahlkoeter and Landon Dahlkoeter to the Wymore Volunteer Fire Department. Mark (last name not specified in the record) presented the applications; both men were present at the meeting.
Shawna Argo, EMS chief, asked council permission for Lew Carr to attend the EMS Summer Conference in Kearney July 6–9. Council authorized Carr’s attendance, approving hotel costs and mileage reimbursement; that motion also carried 4-0.
City Attorney Andy Carothers reported he had contacted the city’s TIF attorney to clarify the process for the fire department to request TIF funds to paint the fire hall. Carothers said the application, completed by Mark, must be handled through the CRA and that Janet is arranging the CRA meeting to consider the request.
The council’s actions on personnel and training were unanimous; no public opposition or separate motions to amend those approvals were recorded. The record shows the council intends to follow the CRA routing for the TIF application, and no final TIF award or funding amount was discussed at the meeting.
Other routine business on the June 21 agenda included approval of minutes, claims and payroll, and the treasurer’s report, all by unanimous votes. The council adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
