Committee approves Dec. 4 minutes; township letter about fire district referred to February agenda

The Sawyer County Public Safety Committee approved the minutes of its Dec. 4 meeting. A member made the motion to approve, received a second and the chair called for the ayes; the motion carried.

Committee members received a letter from the Township of Bass requesting the county investigate a fire district. Members said the item is expected to appear on the February agenda for further consideration.

At the end of the meeting the chair thanked the departing chief (transcribed in the record with inconsistent spellings; see note below) for 28 years of service and the committee adjourned.

Note on names: the meeting transcript refers to the departing chief earlier as "Chief Sedaris" and later the chair thanked "Mister Siderra." The transcript contains inconsistent spelling; the meeting record did not provide an unambiguous authoritative spelling for the departing chief's name.
