ADDENDUM I - CITY MANAGER’S REPORT.
VI. New Business:
a. Capeheart Mill: President Pro Tem DeLucia reported a fire occurred
recently in the Capehart Mill after a concerned citizen discussed illegal
activity occurring in the area. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked what options
the city had in regards to demolishing the building or making the site as safe
as it can be. President Pro Tem DeLucia reported that Chief Tracy Montoya’s
written response was that if the building is not under an active fire, the act of
demolition of the building would fall under the building commission and city
council. President Pro Tem DeLucia questioned if demolishing the building
would make less or more fire and safety hazards. Discussion ensued. Chief
Marc Benjamin noted that the portion of the site that recently caught fire was
fallen down pieces of the building, and that debris also poses a fire hazard.
Chief Benjamin stated there is fencing around the building, however some
areas have been cut through. Alderwoman Gould asked if the private
property owners were contacted after the fire. Chief Benjamin responded
that the owners were aware but he was not sure who they spoke with.
b. Status of the PFAS foam collection/decon: President Pro Tem DeLucia
read a memorandum from Chief Montoya regarding the background of the
PFAS foam collection and where the project currently stands. President Pro
Tem DeLucuia stated, per Chief Montoya, that the second phase of the
project was decontamination of affected apparatuses and the estimate from
the state to clean each was $33,000. President Pro Tem DeLucia continued
that Chief Jencks was getting research on the number of apparatus affected
and that he spoke to John Raymond in fleet maintenance about setting up a
decominization zone, but John Raymond did not feel it would meet the
stringent state guidelines and that it would create a lot of waste. Chief Jencks
stated at the State Firefighter Association meeting it was discussed that the
state is approximately 20 million dollars short of funds needed to
decontaminate a number of apparatuses. Chief Jencks reported that John
Raymond performed a trial run cleaning on the Engine 22 which
produced about 60 gallons of waste. Chief Jencks stated another
meeting was scheduled for June 22nd and that he believed the state
firefighter association would be pushing for the state legislature to find a
solution. Chief Jencks stated there were 65 pails of foam in the city for
pickup. Discussion ensued.

program works to decrease emergency calls for repeated needed
assistance with non-emergency items.

convertible, however it would not make it more energy efficient
and the conversion could be a $500,00 cost. Chief Eyberse

would be hard to acquire parts. Chief Eyberse stated that through
