Council OKs fire department keypad, gear replacement and boat propeller purchases
Summary
Chippewa Falls authorized $7,586.50 from unspent wages to replace fire department keypads, approved replacement of turnout gear (funded from unspent wages or reserves), and approved purchase of a replacement propeller for the fireboat, offset by trade-in value.
The Chippewa Falls Common Council approved several Fire Department expenditures at its July 7 meeting. Council authorized $7,586.50 from unspent wages to replace keypads at the Fire Department (motion Dixon/Nadreau) and approved replacement of Fire Department turnout gear with funding from unspent wages or reserves (motion Dixon/Normand); both motions passed on unanimous roll-call votes. Council also approved the purchase of a propeller to replace the jet prop on the department’s boat, with funding coming from the Fire Department Sale of Scrap account and offset by the trade-in value of the old jet prop (motion Marr/Hull).
The minutes do not list vendor names or delivery timelines for the keypad or gear purchases, nor do they list the replacement propeller’s cost; they do record the funding sources the council approved. The fire department funding approvals allow staff to proceed with procurement under the specified funding sources and to replace aging equipment.
