The Board was given a short update on the current status of the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) in the Village of North Fond du Lac. 2. Chief Flaherty presented the proposed apparatus replacement plan for the NFDL Fire Department. Flaherty explained the major operational change would be utilizing a new 504 to respond to vehicle accidents instead of the current 510. This would also repurpose the new 510 for water rescue and fire response. Flaherty presented a timeline of how the department apparatus needs have changed. The Board agreed to have Flaherty move forward with gathering estimates for a 510 replacement understanding that there would be at least 3 estimates. Starting the process now, it is likely that we wouldn’t see the apparatus until 2026. 3. The Board had a brief discussion about the Municipal Building Facility Study.
