Fire chief details equipment acquisitions and demolition plans; requests city help removing trees for private lot
Summary
Fire Chief Sam Glency told the council he obtained equipment and supplies from the Department of Conservation—Forestry Division in Lebanon and outlined demolition plans for several properties, noting weather and manpower constraints; he also asked city workers to help remove two city-owned trees at Elliott and 2nd for a planned private build.
Fire Chief Sam Glency briefed the Chaffee City Council on department acquisitions and property demolitions at the Dec. 2 meeting and sought assistance with tree removal on city property.
Glency reported that the department obtained equipment and supplies during a trip to Lebanon with the Department of Conservation—Forestry Division; he described intentions for how the equipment will be used but the minutes do not list specific items. He also reminded the council of properties slated for demolition, including a house on Nunn Rd., and said the department’s demolition timeline is affected by weather and available manpower.
Later in the meeting Glency (identified in the minutes as Sam Glency) said he intended to cut down two trees on city property at the corner of Elliott and 2nd Streets to build a house on the adjoining lot and requested city workers’ help with removal and cleanup. The minutes record discussion but no formal motion or council directive regarding the tree removal or demolition schedule; no timeline or cost estimate is included.
The minutes do not specify the exact equipment acquired in Lebanon, the legal authority or permits for cutting city trees, or whether any environmental review or neighbor notification will be required; those items are not specified and would need follow-up with the Fire Department or City Administrator.
