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. Dennis Stocker came at 6:10.
Dennis had to leave meeting at 7:30. Visitors: Chris
Dinnan came before the board about his high water bill due to issues with his
tenants. Chris asked to have the bill lowered a little as he knows it was a
malicious act done but the tenants are now gone. Alicia Sharp explained that she
felt bad for him but he is not the only one who has had issues with a high bill.
Dennis Stocker said he too felt sorry and knows it was more than likely done on
purpose. The board took a vote and
it came out 2/1 that they could not give a discount as they would then have
several people asking for discounts and they need to be fair to the whole
district. Approval for
Minutes: Dennis made a motion to approve the minutes as presented and
it was seconded by Scott. With no
discussion the motion carried (3/0). Approval for the
Fire District Pay Order: Dennis made a motion to approve the pay
orders and Scott seconded the motion. Motion carried (3/0). Old Business:
The snow blower for the sewer plant will be bought this week as well as the
few items needed at the plant that were personal items of Mark Breznicks that he
took when he left. The repairs to the doors at station 2 are being looked at and an estimate will be given as to the cost to get them fixed before they fall off and hurt somebody. We may have to totally replace one door and use good panels from that door to fix the other one. New Business: Maureen
reported that on October 28th it was discovered that the hot water
tank had sprung a leak and about 50 gallons of water ran down through the
ceiling and into the chief’s office. The
computer and printer were both covered in water and will need to be replaced.
A claim has been filed with the insurance but we do know the cost for the
new hot water tank is not covered. We
will also have to redo the ceiling and walls in the office area. Dennis let the board know that they will be down 1 fire
truck after the 1st of the year as it did not pass inspection and it
will cost too much to get it to pass. Alicia Sharp reported that she attended a workshop done by
Efficiency Vermont about going to LED street lights and she has also meet with
the Energy Committee in town are they are willing to work with the Fire District
on this project. We know it will
take some time before this can happen but if it will be cheaper the board is all
for it. Alicia made a motion seconded by Scott that the board signs a memorandum
to move forward with the process for the LED lights, motion carried (2/0). Maureen also gave each board member their copy of the audit
that was recently completed for them to go over.
If they have any questions we will go over them at the next meeting. Public Comments: None Other

either meeting that was set. Executive Session: None Next Meeting: The
