Council hears update on fire truck repairs, chief search and facility heating options

Council members received a report on ongoing fire truck repairs and the continuing search for a new fire chief. The transcript records that councilors and staff discussed staffing needs and that recruitment for a chief remains underway; no appointment was made at the meeting.

The council also discussed facility issues for the fire department: heating options for the station and the possibility of installing an electric gate to improve access control. Staff were asked to investigate heating solutions and the electric-gate option and report back as part of the follow-up actions.
