4) Fire- Chief Hauck provided the details of the 3 alarm fire in Woodlawn. 30 vehicles and over 100 firefighters were on scene.
New firefighter, Rob Durnwall, is working out well and quick to learn.
Chief Hauck has assessed the Cultural Arts Center regarding the lack of a fire alarm system. This prompted the discussion on the other buildings within the village lacking fire alarms and/or sprinkler systems. Chief Hauck will work on list of the village buildings that lack either sprinkler systems or fire alarms, obtain costs to add, and then prioritize addressing each issue as warranted.
5) David Elmer updated the committee on the Aerohub development across from St Rita’s.
Upon motion by Bill Puthoff and seconded by Jeff Albrinck, the meeting adjourned at 7:15.
