City to give fire pumper to townships
Ottawa City Commission plans a sparse meeting at City Hall at 9 30 a m. The board may donate its 28 year old reserve fire truck instead of trading it in. Fire Chief Richard Towe notes the trade in would be under 5000 and the vehicle could serve Lincoln Harrison or Ottawa townships or rural areas via the Franklin County Firefighters Association. The truck would be kept dry and protected from freezing. The agenda also includes a 50 year service award for the water department and proclamations for Week of the Young Child Kiwanis Day and Medical Laboratory Week.
