From the meeting
At the September 22, 2026 meeting, fire department representatives described an upcoming referendum for the next election. They said the increase would mainly fix equipment and repair the building, with a small portion for pay increases to stay competitive. Chief Duffy said he had already implemented hour requirements and that the department might need a loan if the referendum failed.
Decision state: discussed.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
