The Malvern City Council met Monday evening for their regularly-scheduled monthly meeting. Several interesting items of business were on the agenda, including a resolution approving bonuses for local law enforcement and talk of a vehicle donation to the Magnet Cove Fire Department.
Chief Jeremy Harper recently received a letter from Magnet Cove Fire Department Chief Brian Billings. Billings stated that his department only has two trucks in operation currently, and one of them is in pretty bad shape and not adequate for the department’s needs.
“This engine is not reliable and has several issues starting, running, and operating,” Billings’ letter stated. “This truck is our only backup engine and inadequate to serve the growing population and additional tasks we take on.”
