Fire department receives new radios; council approves equipment purchase and adjourns
Summary
The fire department reported new 800 radios and a volunteer shortfall; councilors approved purchasing higher-quality repair parts (with shipping) by voice vote and adjourned the meeting.
The fire department reported it received new 800 radios and planned training at the next meeting to get members up to speed. The department is recruiting after the recent departure of a volunteer (Billy Mullen).
Council members then discussed repair and replacement options for a piece of equipment; shipping delays and part quality were raised. One member said shipping delays were increasing cost and recommended including shipping in the purchase. A motion to accept higher-quality parts, with shipping included if necessary, was moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which carried by voice vote.
