Wallingford Fire District No. 1

 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
January 26, 2011

Called to Order:  Scott Sendra called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.  Also present were Dennis Stocker, Alicia Sharp, and Maureen Duchesne Clerk/Treasurer.   

Visitors:  Jeff Duchesne came in around 6:40 and went over some information regarding an inspection of the station and we do have a few issues that at some point will need to be addressed to meet fire codes in the building. Jeff asked if again the board would allow the fire dept. to apply for grants that would help with some of the issues and not cost the tax payers the full dollar amount.  Scott made a motion to allow them to apply for any grant money available it was seconded by Alicia.  With no more discussion motion carried.  (3/0)  

Approval for Minutes:  Dennis made a motion to approve the minutes with one small change and it was seconded by Alicia.  With no further discussion the motion carried (3/0).  

Approval for the Fire District Pay Order:  Dennis made a motion to approve the pay orders and Scott seconded the motion. Motion carried (3/0).  

Old Business:   Maureen got a copy of the lease on the S. Wallingford Fire Station and the board went over the details in the document.   The lease is an extended one over a long period of time but it is set up to come up for renewal every five years since we usually have changes on the board.  The district is responsible for all maintenance issues that come up so we are going to have to next year look at getting the doors fixed.  Dennis made a motion to renew the lease and Alicia seconded it as this helps the ISO rating just by having the station.  With no further discussion the motion carried. (3/0)

The Fire Protection Budget was looked at by the board again as it had not been approved but they will leave the budget as is for the coming year since we need to publish the annual reports.  Alicia made the motion to approve the budget and it was seconded by Scott.  With no further discussion motion carried (2/0, Dennis abstained)

Alicia stated that the inventory of all the street lights has been completed and she is working on the next step of the energy project to replace the lights with LED ones.

New Business:  The board looked over the proposal on a John Deere tractor and snow blower to do the sidewalks it will be about $25,000 ,and they will get a couple more quotes from some others before they make there decision as to which one to buy.
