Sheriff briefs council on radio-tower snag and possible $7,000 saving; fire chief raises pool, station repairs and house-numbering concerns
Summary
Sheriff Ken McClure updated the council on the sheriff's office budget and a radio-tower land-purchase issue that could be resolved by colocating equipment, saving roughly $7,000; Fire Chief Keith Horan requested discussion of pool filling requests, repairs and HVAC at the East Fire Station and community house-numbering problems.
Sheriff Ken McClure told the council the sheriff's office is preparing budget requests for the upcoming fiscal year that could include staff and operating cost increases. He reported the radio tower project hit a land-purchase snag near Schaller and said placing equipment on an existing tower in that area could reduce costs by about $7,000.
Fire Chief Keith Horan arrived at 7:38 PM and asked the council to consider multiple operational and facility issues: filling the public swimming pool in future years, repair work needed at the East Fire Station, installation of an HVAC system at that station, and clarifying house numbers around the community to aid emergency response.
Councilors heard these items during department reports; the transcript records the presentations and requests but does not show final decisions or funding approvals for the specific fire-department items. The council will consider these matters in future budget or staff-work sessions as appropriate.
