Council discusses firehouse pipe rack, meter readings and equipment operating costs
Summary
Council members and staff discussed having Simpson build a pipe rack for another firehouse, changes to meter-reading efficiency, and equipment operating costs (Chair cited about $180 per day for the RMC unit); the meeting recorded no procurement vote.
Council member 2 said the town plans to have Simpson build a pipe rack at another firehouse to better organize pipe by size and free up space in the current facility. "We are gonna have Simpson eventually build us a pipe rack to put down in another firehouse," the council member said, and members discussed keeping a minimal set of parts nearby so crews can respond quickly at night.
Staff reported meter and material figures near 1,000 units and said new meters have reduced reading time to about one day. The Chair noted operating costs for an RMC unit of about $180 per day and that compressors and dryers are major power draws; no procurement vote or budget appropriation for the pipe rack or equipment was recorded in the transcript.
