  • Westland council approves public safety improvements
    Posted On: Jul 205, 2018

    The Westland City Council voted July 16 to approve a bid for the replacement of the roof at Fire Station No. 4, 37200 Palmer Road, which serves the area of Hannan to Shuman and Glenwood to Marquette. The station also serves as a backup to Fire Station No. 3, which serves Shuman to Merriman and Cherry Hill to Glenwood.

    The contract was awarded to MWM Roofing Co. in the amount of $28,370. The current roof was installed when the station was constructed in 1971.

    Fire department overtime for the fiscal year 2018-19 has also been increased to meet the demands for calls for service within Westland. In 2015, the Westland Fire Department received a grant for staffing also known as Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER). This enabled the city to reduce overtime dollars and have 13 firefighters funded under the grant qualifications. The current increase in overtime dollars guarantees additional fire services provided to fulfill meeting the demands of our department.

    “As Westland nears the end of this grant period, it was necessary to increase overtime to continue to provide the service levels Westland residents have come to expect and deserve,” Mayor William Wild said. “The approval of these crucial investments demonstrates the level of importance we place on public safety and we believe residents should be afforded the best experience available from our
