Mayor Bates addressed online reports that EMS Station 3 had been closed by the State Fire Marshal, saying those reports were incorrect. Bates said the marshal "came out there to look" and that the station was built "a little different" than the plans required; he said he has scheduled a meeting with the state fire marshal and county representatives for 9:00 a.m. on Monday to discuss necessary corrections.
Bates characterized the item as an inspection and follow-up rather than a forced closure and said staff have been fielding many phone calls about the situation. The mayor asked commissioners to note the planned Monday meeting with the State Fire Marshal to resolve outstanding plan and construction issues.
