Summary
Fire Department representative Lisa Cavender said the department responded to 20 calls in December and apologized for delays as crews shut Highway 155 for a multi-vehicle crash the night of the council meeting.
Lisa Cavender told the council the fire department had responded to 20 calls in December and apologized to council members and staff for any difficulty in arriving at the meeting, explaining the department had closed Highway 155 after a multi-vehicle accident earlier that evening. "Mrs. Cavender apologized to the council if they had trouble getting the meeting tonight as they had a multi-vehicle accident and had to shut hwy 155 down in both directions for a while," the minutes record.
