Quick context to catch up fast.
The commission unanimously approved a resolution supporting the Fire Department’s CNR itemization, although the minutes do not describe its contents. The department is also pursuing in-house apparatus repairs after a vendor proposed raising labor costs from $190 to $265 per hour, an increase that would have added about $20,000 in fees based on last year’s work.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The Fire Department is exploring an in-house repair operation to reduce the cost of maintaining its vehicles and equipment. The department reported 335 calls during the month and 939 citywide EMS calls without mutual-aid ambulances, while staffing remained strained by light duty, military deployment, leave, and workers’ compensation absences. Remaining CDBG funds will be used to reseal floors at headquarters and Cross Street because cracks are allowing water into the basement.
