Fire chief proposes revisions to Greene Volunteer Fire Department bylaws
Summary
Fire Chief Cory Weigmann presented proposed amendments to Greene's Volunteer Fire Department bylaws on April 6, including expanding the residency radius from 7 to 8 miles and linking a written exam to a $3,000 turnout-gear grant. Council received the presentation but took no immediate action on the bylaws.
Fire Chief Cory Weigmann presented proposed revisions to the Greene Volunteer Fire Department bylaws during the council's special session on April 6, 2026.
Weigmann outlined three main changes: increasing the allowable residency radius for volunteers from 7 miles to 8 miles; introducing a written exam that would be a qualification tied to a $3,000 grant intended for turnout gear; and adding a new Section 9 to the bylaws. The presentation was informational; the council did not vote to adopt the changes at the meeting.
The council's actions in the session focused on real-estate negotiations and scheduling public hearings, and no implementation timeline or further procedural steps for the bylaw amendments were recorded in the minutes. Additional follow-up or formal consideration of the bylaws would appear on a future agenda if the council chooses to act.
