SBM Fire Department presents emergency services proposal to Lexington workshop
Summary
At a May 21, 2026 Lexington council workshop, SBM Fire Chief Dan Retka and Deputy Chief Matt Montaine outlined a proposal for emergency services while City Administrator Bill Petracek reviewed Lexington Fire Department expenses; no formal decision was taken and the workshop adjourned at 10:08 p.m.
SBM Fire Chief Dan Retka and SBM Deputy Fire Chief Matt Montaine presented a PowerPoint proposal on May 21, 2026, describing services SBM Fire Department could provide to the City of Lexington at a council workshop that began at 7:38 p.m. City Administrator Bill Petracek followed with a PowerPoint overview of Lexington Fire Department expenses.
The presentations summarized possible emergency-service arrangements and the city’s cost picture; the transcript records "presentations" and that "discussion ensued" but does not include specific dollar amounts or adopted commitments. The expense overview by City Administrator Bill Petracek was noted in the record but details were "not specified" in the transcript.
No staff input was recorded following the presentations, and the transcript shows no council deliberation or formal direction on adopting or rejecting the SBM proposal during the workshop. Councilmember Mahr moved to adjourn at 10:08 p.m.; Councilmember DeVries seconded the motion, which passed 5-0.
Because the workshop record contains presentations and discussion but no recorded vote or instruction on the emergency-services proposal itself, the matter remains under consideration based on the transcript. The workshop adjourned with no further action on the proposal.
