Wallingford Fire District No. 1 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL
COMMITTEE MEETING Called to Order:
Scott Sendra called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
Also present was Alicia Sharp, and Maureen Duchesne Clerk/Treasurer. Visitors: Jeff
Duchesne came to ask about getting the stuff from the lodge that is stored down
at station #2 taken out as the fire department is working on cleaning up that
station. He also asked the board if they would give their approval to apply for
another AFG grant for equipment as this may be the last year to apply for a
while, as they may not be available for a few years.
The board gave their approval and wished them luck. Approval for
Minutes: Scott made a motion to approve the minutes as presented and
it was seconded by Alicia. With no
discussion the motion carried (2/0). Approval for the
Fire District Pay Order: Scott made a motion to approve the pay orders and
Alicia seconded the motion. Motion carried (2/0). Old Business: Maureen let the board know that the items from the grant money are slowly being purchased and the bills are being paid right away so we do not make interest off it as this would have to be paid back to the government. Maureen also asked about the 3 questions the Town had asked about previously and what was the board’s response. 1) As discussed at the FD#1 Annual Meeting, how much of this grant funding can be used to reduce the 2011 Fire Protection Budget that will be billed out to taxpayers in August? None
of the grant money will be used to reduce the budget as the items are things
that are over the cost of what is in the voted on budget amount of $129,978 for
2011. 2) How much money was received from the sale of the air packs and will this money be used to reduce the 2011 Fire Protection Budget accordingly? The
air packs were sold for $3000 with half of that belonging to the fire dept.
The $1500 that the district was to get was used to offset a bill that the
fire dept. themselves paid which should have come out of the Fire Protection
Budget. So that money will not be
used to reduce the 2011 budget. 3) Will any of the equipment being replaced due to the grant funds be sold and if so, will this money be used to reduce the 2011 Fire Protection Budget. There will not be any equipment sold, as the grant money is being used to buy things that they do not already have and did not ask to have in their budget to purchase to help keep the budget total down as much as possible. So, therefore this will not reduce the 2011 Fire Protection Budget. New Business: Jim
had a tree come down on the power lines by his cabin and it caused a power surge
that has fried anything electrical. He
said the electric part of the furnace no longer works and wanted to know what
the board wants him to do. Alicia
made the motion to have Maureen read a memo from the Town Administrator about the
testing of the water at Public Comments:
