Council declines to advance $4 million fire-station bond question without fire department financials
Summary
A proposed Resolution to call an election on a general obligation loan up to $4,000,000 for a fire project failed for lack of a second; the council flagged missing fire-department financials and noted fundraising signage showing $2 million against an estimated $5 million project cost.
Council considered Resolution #2026-16R to call an election on a general obligation loan agreement not to exceed $4,000,000 for a fire-department project. Pease moved to approve the resolution but the motion failed for lack of a second after council members said the fire department had not provided the requested financials. The meeting minutes record council discussion noting fundraising signs that show a $2,000,000 goal while the project cost is estimated around $5,000,000.
The council agreed to revisit the resolution at the July 6, 2026 meeting if the requested fire-department financials are provided. No formal vote on the loan question occurred at the June 1 meeting.
