Fire department report, sewer project update; council agrees to cover $2,000 church pad cost

The Corinne Fire Department presented its April report: eight calls (six inside city limits, two outside), medical and wildland training progress, equipment donations for a local firefighting program and several firefighters completing certification training.

Council members also reported the sewer project began survey work and that contractors would start digging next week at the pump house; staff agreed to provide ongoing updates at future council meetings.

On a separate agenda item, council member Karen Caldwell asked the city to help cover an invoice related to cement work at the historic church. Council members reviewed line items and agreed the city should pay $2,000 for an 8-by-14 concrete pad at the south building that ties into an ADA ramp; they also identified a $2,200 line item (owner-provided pavers) to be removed from the invoice before issuance. Staff will issue a corrected payment and the item was resolved without a formal recorded roll-call vote in the meeting transcript.

The council then moved on to finance items and approved routine vendor checks before adjourning.
