Board hears fire-department activity report, approves repair funds and training reimbursement
Summary
The fire-department representative reported 39 calls last month including structure and outside fires, described a jammed door needing new lock assemblies, and the board approved repair spending and acknowledged training and mutual-aid activity.
The board heard a monthly activity report from the fire-department representative, who said the department responded to 39 calls last month, including two structure fires, four outside fires, seven medical calls and one rescue. The representative also said several personnel will attend training in Old Forge and that mutual-aid calls occurred during the month.
The representative described a recurring problem with a jammed door and worn lock assemblies at the firehouse. He provided a parts estimate — a latch and two handles were listed at $143.98 — and asked the board to approve repairs while minimizing the number of parts ordered where possible. The chair moved to approve a not-to-exceed amount for Churchill Fire to complete the door-hardware repair; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. (Transcript contains a numeric ambiguity between $844 and $8.44; see clarifying details.)
Board members also noted staff follow-up on outstanding water and sewer accounts and thanked volunteers who supported recent community events. The fire-representative’s personnel update listed two transfers and one new hire pending background checks.
