Board approves Hochatown fire department volunteer handbook
Summary
Trustees voted to accept the volunteer-division handbook establishing procedures, training expectations, stipend structure and conduct standards for volunteer firefighters.
Trustees reviewed and approved the Hochatown Fire Department volunteer-division handbook, which establishes policies, procedures, training standards, conduct expectations and a stipend structure for volunteers. The board heard that the handbook sets participation standards (including training and minimum activity thresholds) intended to provide clarity and accountability for volunteer members.
A trustee said the handbook "looks good" after staff and legal review. The motion to accept the handbook was seconded, roll-call votes were recorded, and the motion carried. Trustees asked staff to monitor participation standards and ensure pension/standing questions are aligned with handbook language.
