Fire Station Beds and Mattresses to be Replaced
The Council approved the purchase of nine new beds and nine mattresses for the fire station. Funds for this purchase were already allocated, originally intended for roofing repairs. The current beds are twin-size, have not held up well for adult use, and the mattresses have been replaced under warranty once, indicating a need for higher quality, firehouse-specific replacements.

The event aims to support the training of therapy dogs that visit local organizations. Activities will include a dog beauty contest and fundraising, with proceeds benefiting the program.
