Interlocal Agreement with Whatcom County Fire District 4 for Training Facility Use p. 3 Bill Hewett, Fire Chief, presented information on the interlocal agreement. The Bellingham Fire Department has been using the training facility owned by Whatcom County Fire District 4 since 2012 through a series of agreements. The facility, located at 4142 Britton Loop Road, is used for the Bellingham Fire Department's recruitment academy, paramedic training program, and ongoing training of firefighters. This updated agreement expands the use of the facility and allows for the consolidation of Bellingham Fire Department training staff into one location where the majority of its training occurs. Chief Hewett answered questions from Council Members. Council Member Hammill stated that he had been at the training facility recently and it was clear to him that the facility was very much needed for the firefighters. Edwin H. "Skip" Williams moved to recommend approval of the interlocal agreement. MOTION CARRIED 3-0. Adjournment There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 2:16 pm.
