Larry
has checked on purchase of furnace for Station #1 at N & S Supply. A certified dealer must purchase hot air
furnaces. Would have
to ask John Halterman to make the purchase. Discussed service contracts and whether there
are any for oil burners in town buildings and procurement policy for purchases.
Commissioner
Harned thanked Judith Neary, Robert Desmond and Mary Helen Shannon for their
help with the referendum held on May 25th for the new fire
truck. He reported that Supervisor Banks
has been checking with lending institutions on the borrowing of $100,000 for
the truck, probably in December or January.
The Commissioners signed Resolution #6 for the year regarding the
purchase and allocation of funds for the purchase of the fire truck.
Commissioner
Nolan questioned the payment of utilities on the fire abstract, specifically
electric and fuel oil, as the recently signed lease signed between the Town and
the Fire Company states that the Fire Company will be responsible for the
utilities, as the Fire District is now paying $2000 per month for leasing the
building for the fire trucks. The
payment of fuel oil and electric will be turned over to the Fire Company.
The
old truck bays at Station #2 is expected to be down by July 4 and the trucks
will be relocated to the town garage on County Route 33 and Station #1.
A
motion was made by Commissioner Lent, seconded by Commissioner Staats to
approve Fire Abstract #6, vouchers 66-79 in the amount of $5,189.23, including
two
National
Grid invoices and one invoice for Long Heating and Cooling, which will be
reimbursed. All in
favor. So
carried.
A
motion was made to adjourn by Commissioner Staats, seconded by Commissioner
Lent. All in favor. So carried.
