Friendsville volunteer fire department asks council about $4,920 grant balance and town parcel
Summary
Terry Spear told the council the fire department has $4,920.10 remaining from a grant for concession-stand and ADA restroom equipment and asked whether the town would sell or fence a 0.35-acre parcel that contains a spring/well adjacent to his newly acquired land.
At the Sept. 9 Mayor and Town Council meeting, Terry Spear of the Friendsville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department asked the council about a remaining grant balance of $4,920.10 that could be used to purchase concession-stand and ADA-restroom equipment. Spear said the volunteer fire department will pay for any amount that exceeds that balance and that he will email the council a list of needed equipment and pricing.
Spear also reported he recently acquired roughly 30 acres adjacent to his existing property and said that parcel borders a town-owned 0.35-acre parcel (Map: 0300 Grid: 0023 Parcel 0080) that contains a spring/well. He asked whether the town would consider selling the parcel or, alternatively, installing a fence around it. Mayor Spencer R. Schlosnagle said he would check with Siera Wigfield regarding the equipment purchase; the minutes record no formal decision yet on the parcel-sale or fence request.
The minutes do not specify deadlines or a final funding decision; officials asked for follow-up email documentation from the fire department and indicated staff will investigate procurement options and approvals.
