Residents raise winter-safety concerns; Fire Chief reports new volunteer firefighter
Summary
During public comment, a resident raised concerns about ice at the senior center and the Fire Chief asked the council to contact the state about sanding intersections; Fire Chief David Norton also reported the department has a new volunteer firefighter.
During the Jan. 13 meeting’s public-comment period, resident Diane Panasuk raised concerns about ice at the senior center. Resident and Fire Chief David Norton asked whether the town could contact the state about sanding intersections as had occurred in previous years.
Fire Chief Norton reported that the fire department has added a new volunteer firefighter. The council reviewed the monthly report from the Roosevelt County Sheriff's Department, though a department representative was not present; Chief Norton asked whether the sheriff’s report included calls from rural areas or was limited to incidents within Bainville town limits.
No specific commitments or votes were recorded to change winter maintenance procedures; residents’ comments and Chief Norton’s request were noted for follow-up. The council’s public-works responsibilities and coordination with state maintenance were discussed but not acted on during the meeting.
