are out of a camera. Rutland is still looking for the keys to the mutual aid
vehicle that may come to the Wallingford Fire House. Stephane was there asking how the loan was coming. I
explained that the bank said we more than likely not be getting the loan for
such a small dollar amount, and suggested that we borrow from ourselves. Scott
made a motion to draw a check from the general fund to pay the down payment for
the air packs. Seconded by Charlie B and motion carried (3/0).
