ADAMS, Mass. — Members of the Fire District are encouraged to attend an informational meeting on the fire station and on the questions being proposed on the upcoming Fire District meeting.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. at the fire house on Park Street.
The Prudential Committee and officers will provide a presentation on the condition of the 65-year-old firehouse and the committee's recommendation to consider a new building.
The committee is also recommending that the clerk and treasurer, chief engineer and assistant engineers be changed from elected to appointed positions. The would serve three-year terms.
These would go into effect on July 1 if passed although current holders of these posts could serve out their terms.
A no vote would keep the organization's structure as is and these positions would continue to be elected.
The committee is also recommending that the chief engineer become a full-time paid position.
A proposal to make the fire chief a full-time employee of the district failed in 2019, along with a request to add a full-time paid firefighter.
The annual election is May 13 from noon to 6, followed by the annual meeting at 7 p.m. at the fire house.
