Fire Chief Paul Canzone asked the Administrative Services Committee to accept a $200 donation from Harbor Freight Tools to buy firefighting equipment and to authorize a $26,650 internal transfer to cover firefighter clothing allowances; committee members moved and voiced approval.

Chief Paul Canzone presented the two items. He said Harbor Freight donated $200 and the department intends to purchase a dewatering pump. He described the transfer as “bookkeeping”: the firefighter clothing allowance is $650 per eligible firefighter per year, and the department needs $26,650 moved from the firefighter personal services account (101) into the firefighter clothing allowance account so payments or uniform purchases can be processed.

Canvassing committee members recorded affirmative responses when motions were called. The record does not show individual roll-call vote tallies or the names of motion movers and seconders.

Committee action: the committee authorized acceptance of the Harbor Freight donation for equipment purchase and approved the internal transfer of $26,650 into the firefighter clothing allowance account.
