In an agreement with Fire Marque Inc., the city’s fire department will be able to recover costs associated with fire responses. It will result in extra revenue for the fire department where applicable and there are no additional costs for the city or homeowners.

At Monday’s meeting, executive unanimously passed a motion to enter into a three-year agreement with licensed Canadian company Fire Marque Inc. to recover costs “to which the City is entitled under existing insurance policies.” It is estimated to add $50,599 of additional revenue to the city per year.

Mayor Deb Higgins and Coun. Brian Swanson were absent from the meeting. Council will finalize executive’s decision at an upcoming meeting.
