Wallingford Fire District No. 1

 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
September 23, 2009

Called to Order:  Scott Sendra called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.   Also present was Charlie Baker, and Maureen Duchesne/Clerk-Treasurer.  Dennis Stocker came at 6:15 p.m. due to a fire call.  

Visitors:  None  

Approval for Minutes:   Scott made a motion and Charlie seconded that the minutes for September 9th be accepted as presented. With no discussion motion carried. (2/0)  

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

Old Business:  The repair that was done at Timber Hills seems to be working fine without the pump house being on.  

The repair on Circular drive that has been on hold for a year has now been complete.  

The leak in the manhole by the bridge has been completed as well and we are going to replace the T-Pad that is giving a garbled reading.  

The next project that Dale is going to work on is replacing the Fire Hydrant on the corner near the bridge.  

New Business:  I let the board know that starting next year the quarterly water/sewer bills will be due in February, May, August, and November so we have nothing due during the holiday season.  This will also allow for all the checks to clear before the end of the year.  

Scott talked to John West who said that any property that goes up for tax sale that the fire district can shut off the water until all back taxes are paid to the Fire District.  

The inspection by the State Fire Marshall at the lodge did not pass today as we had a few things that needed to be fixed first.  The storage under the building has to be completely cleaned out and the hand rail needed to be raised. Matt will come back on Friday so that we can get our occupancy certificate before the weekend.  Jim is going to have one of his workers help get the underside cleaned out.  

Public Comments:  None  

Other Business/Announcements:  Dennis did mention that the Fire Department is looking at late October to get the hydrants flushed but will let us now as soon as they have a date.  

Executive Session:   None.  

Next Meeting:  The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Prudential Committee will be on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 , at 6:00 P.M. at the Wallingford Fire Station on Railroad Street.   This meeting was not held because we did not have a quorum.   Next meeting will be October 28, 2009.  

Adjournment:  Dennis made the motion that the meeting be adjourned.  Scott seconded the motion.  No further discussion.  Motion carried (3/0).  The meeting adjourned at 7:04 P.M.
