The Elizabethtown City Council met for their first meeting of the month Monday.
Elizabethtown Fire Chief Mark Malone recognized the fire department’s Firefighter of the Year Dan Lockwood and Officer of the Year Mike Satterfield. Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory congratulated the two and recognized all of the city’s firefighters for all of their work that goes beyond responding to structure fires.
“What they’re doing is they’re responding to medical emergencies a good bit at the time, rescue situations, and car accidents, and people have no idea how many of those runs that they make and the expertise that they have to have past being great firefighters and dealing with fire issues,” Gregory said. “They also have to have the training for all those other things.”
The council approved two municipal orders. The first awards a Downtown Grant in the amount of $76,500 to 100 Public Square for exterior renovations. The second awards a $100,000 contract to Taylor Siefker Williams for work on the city’s Downtown Master Plan.
“Whereas the city wishes to promote and achieve community development efforts on behalf of the residents of Elizabethtown, and whereas in its Envision Elizabethtown 2040 comprehensive plan the city established a goal of investing in the downtown,” said Elizabethtown City Attorney Ken Howard, reading from the municipal order.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet March 10.
