Town of Medora: Jackson County trustees reject fire-truck purchase and sell former fire-department property

Town of Medora: Jackson County trustees said a proposed fire-truck purchase was rejected and would not be put to a vote. They also discussed selling the former fire-department property, which was described as already sold to Alex Thompson Services, with the transaction scheduled for April 1; proceeds are expected to return to the general fund. The mowing contract will continue at last year’s amount, although the record does not state the dollar figure or document a formal vote. Trustees said the next likely formal meeting will be for budget planning later in the year, with a public budget meeting expected before adoption in October. The discussion also touched on possible statewide changes affecting township government, but no local decision was made.
