The committee approved accepting a $14,971.52 firefighter safety equipment grant, which will help replace a 27-year-old lift without requiring a local match. It also advanced a regional fire dispatch agreement, traffic enforcement authority for overweight commercial vehicles, new school-area parking restrictions, and a proposed stop sign at Crane Avenue and Mill Street. These recommendations still require action by the full City Council or other approving bodies where applicable.
