Summary
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved Bill No. 4076, an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Clayton to conduct a feasibility study on forming a regional fire authority. The measure passed all readings and final passage by voice vote.
The Shrewsbury Board of Aldermen on May 12 unanimously approved Bill No. 4076, authorizing an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Clayton to fund a feasibility study into a regional fire authority.
Alderperson Bette Welch sponsored the measure and moved for first reading, second reading and final passage; Alderman Jacob Riley seconded each motion. Each reading and the final passage were approved by unanimous voice vote. The ordinance was recorded on the agenda as part of consent business and received no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript.
The study will evaluate the feasibility of forming a regional fire authority with Clayton; the text of the IGA, any study budget, and the study timeline were not specified on the record. No public comment that night spoke for or against the feasibility study specifically. Fire Chief Chris Amenn reported departmental training expansions and ongoing grant searches elsewhere in his departmental update but did not provide additional details about the IGA at the meeting.
Next steps, including the timeline for the feasibility study, the study's scope, or any funding commitments, were not specified in the meeting record. The board did not adopt a motion to direct staff to return with a fee schedule or contract language on the public record during the session.
