Town approves $7,500 donation and extends workers’ comp coverage to fire volunteers
Summary
The Town of Chancellor agreed to donate $7,500 toward a cascade system, declared three fire-department items surplus for sale, and approved the 2025 volunteer roster while covering volunteers under the town's workers' compensation plan.
The Town of Chancellor Board of Trustees voted Jan. 14 to provide $7,500 to the Chancellor Fire Department for purchase of a cascade system and to declare three pieces of equipment surplus for sale.
Fire department representatives—including Jeremy Nettifee and two individuals listed in the minutes as Chris Ludens and Chris Luden—presented the department’s 2025 roster and equipment needs. Trustee Heath McManaman moved to approve the donation; Trustee Zachary Knock seconded and the board voted unanimously to carry the motion.

The board also voted to cover all Chancellor Fire Department volunteers under the town’s workers’ compensation coverage.
The approvals were recorded as unanimous; no dollar amounts beyond the $7,500 donation were listed for surplus sale proceeds or estimated replacement costs in the minutes. The minutes list the presenters and the roster but do not provide individual volunteer names or further procurement timelines.
The board’s recorded motions were mover: Trustee Heath McManaman; seconder: Trustee Zachary Knock; outcome: approved (all in favor).
