Plans have been progressing; Lieutenants have been conducting plans
at Chicago Rental and the State Bank, as well as doing follow ups on
past plans as required by ISO.
Maintenance of the
station and apparatus
Station repairs
from the ceiling falling in have not been completed, we have
temporarily placed ceiling tile in to help save on the energy bill
as a cold draft enters through the ceiling. Draft stops were
replaced on a couple of doors to help with energy efficiency. A
water leak from an unused pipe in the floor is beginning to show
signs of corrosion and is need of a plumber.
