Wallingford Fire District No. 1

 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
March 24, 2010

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

Visitors:  John and Gwen West came and gave the board an update on Dale’s condition after his accident.  They said he was still in ICU and will be out of work for quite a while. The board all want to wish him well in his recovery.  

Tom Phillips came to talk to the board about sewer hookup for the property he owns on Haven Hill that he will be developing. John West did state that the district does not have the cash to be able to add to the sewer system and he did not believe that this was in the fire district anyways.  The board did state that it was beyond the district line and it would be his responsibility to pay for and work to hook on to the system.  Tom said he is just starting to look at how to get a sewer system to the development.  

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

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

Old Business:  It was decided by the board to table the discussion of getting cell phones until Dale gets back to work as Mark does have a pager if we need to get in touch with him.

New Business:    The Fire Hydrant Procedures was tabled until the 2nd meeting in July when the firemen will have more time and maybe Dale will be back by then.  

Maureen went over the numbers for the first billing and the payments that came in collecting more water than sewer funds than needed and asked about just reversing the numbers for this billing.  Dennis made a motion and Scott seconded it that we keep our promise not to change the amounts for the year but we can reverse them.  With no further discussion the motion carried (3/0).  

Maureen let the board know that the lodge at this time is booked for almost every weekend for the season and has several bookings for the middle of the weeks.  Looks like we will have a solid year this year after last year’s fire.

Dennis said that he had spoken with Bill Brooks about the issue of the town taking over the fire district and one thing that was stated was that both sides need to have better communication.  Alicia did attend the last Selectboard meeting and had a list of questions that they would like answered, which she is working on.  Alicia would like to get the three boards together at a meeting to discuss the issues and is looking for a date to do this.  It would be the Selectboard, the Prudential Committee, and the Board of the WVFD.
