Wallingford Fire District No. 1 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL
COMMITTEE MEETING Called to Order:
Chris Rabtoy called the meeting to order at 6:02 p.m.
Also present was Charlie Baker, Scott Sendra and Stephanie Biagini/Clerk-Treasurer. Visitors: Jon
Hebert Mr. Hebert came before the board to discuss the reading of
the water meter/blow off at his property on Elm Street.
It was very high and with the closing on February 12th, he was anxious
about the amount of his bill. Previous
bills reflected much lower charges. C.
Rabtoy responded to his questions about the mechanics of the water meters that
we use. The allowance of 9,000
gallons per blow off season applies (Dec. 15 – March 15).
A ¼ inch valve is what he has on his pipe.
The correct valve measurement is 1/16 inch.
As time goes by, the valves do expand, so replacement is needed
periodically. A motion was made by
C. Rabtoy that an adjustment be made to Mr. Hebert’s bill. Discussion
of potential future issues with
blow offs followed. C. Baker
seconded. Motion passed (3/0). Jeff Duchesne and Don Boyd They brought in more information on the Knox lock boxes,
which were discussed at a previous Prudential Committee meeting.
S. Sendra asked whether or not they had applied for a grant on line,
which expires on Will have information ready at next meeting on the trucks that are going up for bid. Approval for
