We discussed the possibility of upgrading.present trucks either
No. 1 or No. 2. Dave Powers explained that the undercarriage
of these trucks would not withstand this type of buildup.
An estimated cost of this truck was between $270,000 to $300,000.
Don Hackman suggested that we establish a Capital Projects
Fund..to finance this project.
Bob Gauthier suggested setting aside $50,000/yr. from Revenue
Sharing and at the end of"3 to 4 yrs. there would be $200,000
in the CPF.
It was also suggested that any excess monies from different
budgets be allowed in the CPF to accumulate at a greater rate.
The Fire Department will establish some money making projects to
be earmarked for the CFIF.
Don Hackmann agreed to do some checking with the Coal Board and
the League of Cities & Towns for some possible grants that we
might apply toward the purchase of this fire apparatus.
The committee was very grateful to Don and Bob for their very
positive attitude toward this project.
