The Culver Town Council members adopted two proclamations during their recent meeting.
The first proclamation recognizes National Police Week as May 11-17, 2025, while the second proclamation recognizes National EMS Week as May 18-24, 2025. The council members commend all in those roles who serve the Town of Culver and Union Township.
The council also authorized maintenance work done to all Stryker equipment associated with EMS. Culver-Union Township EMS Director Michael Hasselfeldt requested maintenance done on about eight pieces of equipment at a cost of about $4,000. If repairs need to be done it could cost a little extra, however Hasselfeldt believes that the equipment is in good working order. He just wants to be sure that the equipment is checked by Stryker representatives. The council unanimously approved the work to be done.
Culver-Union Township Fire Chief Terry Wakefield said the two tornado sirens are being repaired at a cost of $900 apiece. He asked permission to purchase two motors to have on hand to make more timely repairs on the sirens. He noted that it takes about four to six weeks to receive what is needed and it is best to have equipment on hand to get them in proper working order at a quicker rate. The council approved the cost of the motors at a total of about $8,500.
