The City of Easton council committee meeting on October 13, 2026, focused on a proposed fire-service agreement with West Easton. The fire chief described an estimated 40 annual responses and a $33,000 annual payment. West Easton would retain ownership of the station and apparatus, with the borough and fire company responsible for specified operating and maintenance costs; the agreement also allows for renegotiation. Council members raised concerns about staffing, the city’s ongoing fire labor negotiations, and whether the agreement’s cost could change. No vote on the agreement occurred at this meeting; members said it was expected to come before council the following day. The discussion also referenced the city’s $1.7 million ladder-truck purchase and roughly $15 million in needed work at its own fire stations.
