St. Stephen council approves $5,000 donation to fire equipment fund
Summary
The St. Stephen City Council unanimously approved Donation Resolution 07022025 to move $5,000 from the Fire Relief Association to the city's fire equipment fund; council also heard department training and call-volume updates.
The St. Stephen City Council voted unanimously July 2 to accept Donation Resolution 07022025, authorizing a $5,000 contribution from the Fire Relief Association to the city's fire equipment fund. The motion was made by Councilmember Danita Traut and seconded by Councilmember Thomas Vouk; all five members present voted in favor.
Fire Department leaders updated the council on recent activity and training. The department reported eight calls in June and 49 calls year-to-date, said staff, and noted upcoming NFPA SCBA fit testing and mini-physicals by Med Compass. The Relief Association also announced its annual picnic, set for Sept. 24, 2025, where a new group photo will be taken. The council approved the donation after brief discussion and without dissent.
The action was recorded as Donation Resolution 07022025; council minutes indicate the resolution was moved and carried with a roll-call affirming the five present members. No additional funding sources or spending details were specified in the minutes; the resolution simply transfers the stated sum into the equipment fund for future fire-related purchases.
