Chair Wakeman opened the meeting at 1900 with the above quorum present
There were no minutes to approve.
We reviewed the Fire Department list of FY17 requests moving Corrosion repairs on ladderl and
Ambulance 1 to 2018. All the SCBA is deferred as a 5 town consortium (Hull, Hingham, Norwell, Scituate,
Cohasset) is investigating a grant and new regulatory requirements. AED's have been completed in prior
years.This leaves the Lucas ALS (an automated CPR system) and the apparatus bay floor still on out FY17
list.
Ron Menard and Chris Senior presented plans for upgrading IT.This is a very substantial expenditure
$450K in FY17 and 500 in FY18. We discussed ways of trying to reduce yearly expenditure by breaking
various projects down. It is however becoming more evident that the infrastructure needs to be dealt
with in such a way to provide adequate bandwidth and connectivity now and in the future. Ron will be
forwarding his updated requests for all to review.The savings to be realized by moving forward are
substantial in direct reductions and in labor/time savings to those using or responsible for maintaining
the system.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 2110.
Respectfully submitted
