Fire Department planning for the end of St. Francis Fire Department leadership assistance under an expiring contract.
Related history
The records searched do not contain a prior decision specifically matching this recollection about ending St. Francis Fire Department leadership assistance, an expiring contract, or approving leadership education for Nowthen’s Assistant Chief and Captains. There is a partial related item in the March 23, 2026 packet under “Fire Department & Emergency Services,” where the council’s work list included Fire Department planning items such as evaluating well options, emergency sirens, inventory of Fire Department and Maintenance Building equipment and supplies, and a PERA presentation. However, the excerpt does not mention the St. Francis contract, leadership transition, or a formal vote. Other search results reference Fire Department equipment/security and firefighter hiring, but not the specific contract-expiration planning described in the cue.
