From the meeting
At the July 20, 2026 meeting, the board said it still needed two appraisals, or at least someone who could say what Engine 1 might be worth. Interim Chief Lee Coatney had not yet heard from Ryan at Lennox Service Center. This is an open planning signal around apparatus valuation and possible disposition or replacement planning.
