New old fire truck; checks distributed at council meeting

Fire Chief Jim Hodges purchased this beauty for a mere $5,000 from an eastern Washington fire department. It’s a 1981 model, with only 30,000 miles. Council had authorized up to $30,000, so Hodges saved the city a big chunk of money. It was displayed at Monday’s council meeting.

In other good news, Sam Cohea and ACT presented checks for $3,100 to the Senior Center and North Beach Tennis Association; the latter turned the money over to the Parks and Recreation Department, to help with the Summer Recreation Program.
