Approved 4-0
CBC Members Present: Wakeman, Franklin, Host, Redmann
Chair Wakeman opened the meeting at 1900 with the above quorum present.
Fire Department
Chief Silvia and John Dockray presented the following:.
Replacement of 1994 Pierce: Cost to replace the 1994 Pierce is $600,000 with a delivery
of Spring 2018. This unit was originally going to be refurbished, and $179,000 had been
approved for that, but replacement has now been determined to be a better course of
action.
The 2001 unit serves primarily as a mechanical spare and would be due to be replaced
in 2025. The maintenance program for the fire fleet is very affordable, with the budget
in 2018 totaling $26,100 (of which over $5,000 is annual testing of pumps, aerial lifts and
other inspections). CBC questioned why we deploy a full pumper in non-pumping
situations and the Chief cited the need to ensure 4 minute of less response times as a
primary reason.
No votes were taken.
Next meeting was scheduled for February 27, 2017. There being no further business we
voted to adjourn at 20:30.
Respectfully submitted
