Hays Post – October 23, 2013
Fire Chief Denis Vine provided Council with an update for the department. One of the Chief’s goals is to lower the City’s ISO rating for insurance premiums paid by residents. The City’s last rating was performed years ago and several improvements to the water lines, hydrants, and fire trucks have been made since then. Chief Vine’s goal is to improve the City’s rating from “6” to “5”. To help with that goal, Chief Vine recommended entering into a mutual aid agreement with Rural Fire. Therefore, Councilmember Jolene Niernberger moved to authorize Chief Vine to set up an automatic first response system with Rural Fire Company No. 6 for mutual aid. Councilmember John Walz seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.
