Council discusses temporary and permanent housing options for fire department
Summary
Councilor Jordan McLaughlin reported he obtained quotes for temporary fire department housing and is exploring using internal space for a permanent solution; council discussion produced no formal motion or funding decision.
Councilors heard an update on Jan. 15 about efforts to secure housing for the Glenburn Fire Department. Code Officer Jordan McLaughlin reported he had gathered quotes for temporary housing units and said he is looking into using internal town space for a more permanent solution.
The minutes record discussion but no motion, vote, or appropriation to purchase or lease temporary housing. Councilors did not record a timeline for a decision or specific cost figures in the minutes; further study and follow-up were indicated.
Why it matters: The fire department’s housing affects staff availability and emergency readiness. Gathering quotes and exploring internal space are preliminary steps; a formal procurement or capital-works decision would be required before funds are committed.
