Wallingford Fire District No. 1

 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
August 24, 2011

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

Visitors: Don Phillips, Rachel Marvin, and Joe Duncan all from Aldrich & Elliott Engineers, Don came to let us know he was retiring at the end of the year and our new contact would be Joe Duncan.  Joe came to introduce himself to the board and let him know if we need any resources he is available to help.  They also suggested that we have a complete water system leakage test done by VTRWA which is no cost to us.  The board did decide to have this done sometime this fall.  

Jeff Duchesne came to let the board know they were sending the van out for service to get it up and running for the time being as it is greatly needed.  He also asked the board if he could order a back up alarm for one of the trucks that has gone and they run about $200.  Scott made the motion and Alicia seconded that Jeff go ahead and make this purchase. No further discussion motion carried (3/0).  

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

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

Old Business: Scott let the rest of the board know that the riding mower he called on was sold so we will still be looking and now will probably wait until next spring to buy one.

The new tractor with the snow blower has been ordered and should be here in the next month or so.  

New Business:  Maureen stated that she had a call from Carol Macleod about cleaning up the area over the bank by the turnout on the lodge road and if they could park a crane in that turnout to reach over.  The board did look up on the map and not even sure if this is Fire District property or not but Scott did make a motion to allow the clean up and it was seconded by Dennis.  With no further discussion the motion carried (3/0).

Jeff also came to the board to let them know the lodge alarm system was burned out from a lightning strike.  The new panel would cost $1600 to replace and they would have lightning protection put on it so the box would not get fried again.  Scott made the motion and Dennis seconded it that we go ahead and have the alarm replaced.  With no further discussion motion carried (3/0).  

Dale sent a message to the board that he would like to get Mill Street building cleaned out of any unwanted or usable items.  The board said they have no problem and gave Dale permission to do so.
