Chaffee council asks attorney to review proposed fire-billing ordinance
Summary
Fire Chief Glency and Assistant Chief Cody Johnson presented a draft ordinance and a services agreement from Fire Recovery USA to charge mitigation rates for fire-department deployments; the council voted to send the ordinance to the City Attorney for review.
Fire Chief Glency and Assistant Chief Cody Johnson presented the council with a services agreement from Fire Recovery USA and a draft ordinance to charge mitigation rates for emergency and non-emergency deployments by the Chaffee Fire Department. The council did not adopt the ordinance at the meeting; instead, Council Member Steve Milz moved and Andy Sadler seconded a motion to have the City Attorney review the ordinance wording. The motion carried.
Chief Glency also reported on Emergency Preparedness supplies, noting an approved purchase of 60 cots for $1,800; the packet asserted a discount of $5,403 and included the invoice as part of the monthly bills. The council did not record immediate policy changes or a vote to implement billing at the meeting—only the attorney-review step was authorized.
The ordinance and service agreement remain under legal review before any implementation or vote by the council.
