The City of Hornell Board of Public Safety took on a number of issues at their monthly meeting on Thursday, ranging from fire truck repairs, to police department promotions, and even addressing "zombie properties."
The Hornell Fire Department's new ladder truck is back in service after having some mechanical issues addressed.
"When it was being put through it's initial tests, it had noisy cylinders in the hydraulic system," Mayor Shawn Hogan said.
Faulty hydraulic cylinders operating the ladder were causing otherwise stationary pins to move, according to Fire Chief Dan Smith.
The dealership in Churchville, N.Y. attempted to address the issues in-house, but could not.
"It wasn't a job they were able to undertake, so the truck was sent back to the factory in Wisconsin where they changed out all of the pins and cylinders before we got our truck back," Hogan said.
City Attorney Joe Pelych is negotiating with the company over possibly extending the life of the truck's warranty.
