In other business, the council:

• annexed seven lots belonging to Samuel Shears into the town limits.

• voted to become a client of Revenue Discovery Systems (RDS) for services related to optimizing sales tax revenue, revenue from business licenses and other services.

• considered a proposal by AT&T about placing a cell phone tower within Trafford town limits.

• discussed an upcoming evaluation of their local fire department by Insurance Service Office, Incorporated. Niblett said he felt the town’s fire equipment was old and run-down. The town has an eight out of 10 fire protection rating, which puts the town in a higher insurance premium bracket. Niblett said the town needs a new fire engine, and hopes the rating will drop so the town can afford to at least rebuild the current fire engine.
