Wallingford Fire District No. 1

 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
September 22, 2010

Called to Order:  Scott Sendra called the meeting to order at 6:20 p.m. as we did not have a quorum until then.  Also present was Alicia Sharp, and Maureen Duchesne Clerk/Treasurer. Dennis Stocker came at 7:15 as he just got out of work.  

Visitors:  John and Gwen West came with a needs list for the water/sewer departments that he presented to the board and then they went over it.  We do have a few big items on the list that will need to be replaced at the sewer plant that we will have to use capital funds to do.  John is going to get some cost comparisons done and present them to the board for these items.  The smaller items the board is going to take care of as they are needed shortly, like a snow blower, and reciprocation saw.  

Jeff Duchesne came to let the board know that work needs to be done at station 2 with the doors or he is afraid that one time when they go to open them they will just fall off as the bottom boards are totally rotting away.  He said that he knows they do not have much money set aside in his budget for station 2 but they are going to have to keep some heat in the building this winter as they do have a crack in one of the pumps on the truck that was stored there last winter with no heat.  They also now have a Mutual Aid Truck and County Trailer that are stored in that station. The board stated they will get some estimates for the repairs that need to be done.  We do know to replace the door completely is about $14,000.00, but maybe we can just get the bottom panels put in.  

Approval for Minutes:  Alicia made a motion to approve the minutes as presented and it was seconded by Scott.  With no discussion the motion carried (2/0).  

Approval for the Fire District Pay Order:  Alicia made a motion to approve the pay orders and Scott seconded the motion. Motion carried (2/0).

Old Business: The board will be working on the checklist for Jim to have at the lodge during the winter meetings to have ready for him by the time we open up next season.  

New Business:   The mileage reimbursement for the employees was discussed by the board as John was telling the guys they would get paid to use their own vehicles even in town for their everyday travel and the board was saying that was part of their job. The board did decide that at this time since we are in the middle of a budget they would not pay for daily runs in town but will definitely pay when travel outside of town is needed, like taking classes, having to go into Rutland for parts, or going to take license test.  

Public Comments:  None

Other Business/Announcements:  Maureen let the board know that she will be on vacation the week of October 4-10 so the office will be closed.  

Executive Session:  None  

Next Meeting:  The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Prudential Committee will be October 13, 2010 at 6:00 P.M. at the Wallingford Fire Station on Railroad Street .  

Adjournment:  Scott made the motion that the meeting be adjourned.  Dennis seconded the motion.  No further discussion.  Motion carried (3/0).  The meeting adjourned at 7:50 P.M.  

Respectfully Submitted:

Maureen Duchesne - Clerk/Treasurer                                       Date Approved:  Nov. 10, 2010
