Summary

The council authorized a $2,800 contribution to the Firefighters Relief Association to cover cancer policy premiums for volunteer firefighters for 2026, continuing a program started in 2025.

Representatives of the Firefighters Relief Association (FRA) asked the council to continue a $2,800 annual reimbursement to help cover cancer‑policy premiums for volunteer firefighters. The FRA representatives said volunteers face higher exposures and that the council had approved a similar contribution in 2025.

A council member moved to authorize the payment, the motion was seconded, and the mayor called for a voice vote. The motion carried and the mayor thanked the FRA members for their service. As the FRA representative said during the request, "we just ask that the city continue to support this, support us on it."
