Judith Rogers – Town Clerk Wendy Pinkham – Finance Director Richard Brown and Fred Hill explained the cost
overrun for the cascade air re-fill station.
There is enough money in the Fire Department budget to cover the overrun.
Some of the money will come from New/Replace Equipment line, 6 air
bottles were scheduled to be purchased, 4 of the 6 were bought from left over
grant money from Emergency Management, which will leave $2,600 unspent.
There is $10,000.00 in the budget for turn out gear. Mr. Hill researched
prices and purchased turn out gear for $8,400.00, which will show a saving of
$1,600.00. The Finance Director
explained that when the warrant article was presented at Town Meeting it was for
$25,000.00 for the cascade system and $14,000.00 for the washer and dryer.
The grant portion received was $40,253.00.
Because only $39,000.00 was appropriated that will leave $1,253.00 as
unanticipated revenue. When it
came time to purchase the cascade system the price was higher than the estimate,
amounting to $31,915.00. After the
washer and dryer was purchased and installed there was $2,519.00 left over, that
money can be used toward the cascade system leaving the overrun to be paid from
the Fire Department budget. The

consists of what the Association is set up for and what the funds can be used
for. Phil Reeder met with the Selectmen for a Storage
