Summary

Inspectors found the IW Fire Station’s portico in disrepair and scheduled for repair this year; stair treads, mixed-age flooring (upstairs dated to 1972), and housing bathrooms (1994) were all identified for replacement or quotes.

Fire Dept. Chief Hempel and the Joint Loss Committee recorded that the IW Fire Station public entrance portico is in disrepair and "is scheduled to be repaired this year," according to meeting notes.

The committee documented multiple maintenance and safety items at the station. Main-level and garage flooring will be epoxied; the upstairs meeting-space flooring dates to about 1972 (approximately 54 years old) and was highlighted for future replacement planning. Interior stairs have six broken tread edges and worn rubber tread covers, and exterior kitchen-side stairs need an additional railing. Housing bathrooms, dated 1994, were noted as needing updates and staff were asked to obtain quotes. The minutes also list that WB Mason water delivery should be turned off until further notice and empties picked up.
