Wallingford Fire District No. 1

 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
August 12, 2009

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

Visitors:  Jeff Duchesne came to let the board know that the overhead doors at Station 2 are in bad need of replacement or repair. He will look into getting some quotes. He also stated that he believes they still have some past firefighters that still have keys to station 2 as they are still seeing things disappear. He asked about having a new lock put on. The board said they agreed to have the lock replaced and only the Chief and his assistants would have keys to that building.  Jeff also asked about the hydrant that needs to be replaced near the station as they were told in the spring the water level was too high. Scott said he would talk to Dale about getting it done.  

Approval for Minutes:  Scott made a motion and Dennis seconded that the minutes for July 22nd be accepted with one spelling correction. With no discussion motion carried. (2/0)  

Approval for the Fire District Pay Order: Scott made a motion and Dennis seconded that the pay orders be accepted. With no discussion motion carried. (2/0)  

Old Business:  Dennis and Scott were discussing the payment for the tapping of the trees as suggested by Charlie but it was decided to table the issue until next meeting when Charlie was there.  

The repair to the front steps at the Lodge has been taken care of by the contractor as requested by the board.  

New Business:  Maureen brought up that the chairs upstairs in the Town Hall were offered to use at the Lodge by Joyce and Scott said he would take a look at them and then talk to Joyce.  

The Mill Street Storage has some very heavy piping that is stored overhead that really needs to be taken down as the weight is making the rafters sag and Dale is afraid that it may collapse on the equipment that is stored there. Dennis made a motion and Scott seconded that we will have someone remove this soon. Motion carried. (2/0)  The roof is also in need of repair but this will probably have to wait until next year.  

The board did some discussion of getting new chairs for the lodge as most of the ones there got ruined during the fire and need to be replaced.  It was decided we would talk a little more at the next meeting as for now we could get some from the Fire Dept. for our upcoming bookings.  

Public Comments:  None  

Other Business/Announcements:  

Executive Session:  Scott made a motion and seconded by Dennis to go into executive session. The board went into executive session at 7:35 p.m. to discuss an issue that had come up. We came out at 7:40 p.m. with no action taken.  

Next Meeting:  The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Prudential Committee will be on Wednesday, August 26, 2009, at   6:00 P.M. at the Wallingford Fire Station on Railroad Street.
