Fire department seeks full‑time inspector, digital plan station and drone replacements
Summary
Fire/inspection staff asked for a full‑time fire inspector, a roughly $15,000 digital plan station to speed scaled plan reviews and replacement drones and equipment estimated at about $50,000 plus maintenance.
The fire and inspection official asked the council to approve a full‑time fire inspector in the fire marshal's office to meet new state inspection mandates and improve insurance class ratings. "I'm requesting a full time fire inspector in the fire marshal's office," the official said, adding that staffing would help the city meet required inspection cycles for hospitals, schools and other occupancies.
The official also requested a digital plan station to view plans to scale and make electronic markups, describing the device as a roughly $15,000 purchase that would reduce paper printing and speed plan review. He described aging drones and rescue equipment and said a Matrice 30T replacement would cost about $50,000 plus an annual maintenance cost of roughly $10,000.
