Wallingford Fire District No. 1

 MINUTES OF THE PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
November 11, 2009

Called to Order:  Scott Sendra called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.   Also present was Charlie Baker, and Dennis Stocker.

Visitors:  Bill Brooks and Josh Gilman came to continue with the issue about the Fire Protection being taken over by the town.  Bill stated that at Town Meeting in March, it was voted that the town take over all issues with fire protection and was wondering if the way we word the vote at our annual meeting will cover all issues or just the budget. A lengthy discussion took place after this.  

Steve Baker came to go over the contract that was drawn up for him to tap the Fire District property and the price the district will get. The price will be established after the bulk price comes out in May.  Scott made a motion and Dennis seconded that Steve be allowed to go onto the property and log anything that needs to be taken down before he taps. With no further discussion motion carried. (3/0)  

John West came to discuss the fire hydrant flushing.  He had a print out to help with the size of the water line that goes to each hydrant. The print out also goes over information about what you can and cannot do with the hydrant.  

Approval for Minutes:  Charlie made a motion and Scott seconded that the minutes for October 28th be accepted as presented. With no discussion motion carried. (3/0)  

Dennis and Charlie had to leave the meeting as a fire call came in. The meeting was halted for a short time.

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. (3/0)
