On Tuesday, the Loretto Board of Aldermen convened to discuss and approve the initial reading of an ordinance that revises the city’s regulations concerning single wide trailers. This significant step reflects the board’s ongoing efforts to address housing standards within the community. In addition to this ordinance, the board also approved several budget amendments aimed at enhancing the resources of the Loretto Fire Department. These amendments specifically allocate funds for essential expenses, including the purchase of turnout gear and necessary repairs for fire trucks, ensuring that the department remains well-equipped to serve the community effectively.
During the meeting, Mayor Steve McMasters provided an update regarding the city’s pursuit of funding opportunities. He announced that Loretto had not been chosen to receive a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield for playground equipment, which was a disappointment for those hoping to enhance recreational facilities in the area. Furthermore, the board received reports from various department heads who outlined their preparations for potential inclement weather, emphasizing the city’s commitment to maintaining safety and readiness in the face of adverse conditions.
