Selectmen approve funds for police Sally Port repair and AED battery/pads replacement
Summary
The board approved $1,480.82 from holding hospital funds to repair the police Sally Port and agreed to replenish AED batteries and purchase replacement pads (original battery request $585; pads ~ $348), which the board approved by voice vote.
The board approved two expenditures from holding hospital funds for the North Brookfield Police Department.
Speaker 1 presented two requests: $1,480.82 to cover emergency repairs to the Sally Port garage door and $585 to replace batteries for three police AEDs; the battery purchases were not budgeted. Speaker 2 raised that AED pads also need periodic replacement (about $58 per pad set) and recommended buying replacement pads along with the batteries. Participants calculated six pad sets at approximately $58 each (about $348), which when combined with the $585 battery request yields an AED equipment total of roughly $933. The board discussed these additions, clarified the holding funds are designated for medical-related costs and confirmed the police are first responders.
Speaker 1 moved to approve the Sally Port repair funding and the AED battery and pad replacements; the motion carried by voice vote. Detailed invoice or vendor information was not provided in the meeting transcript.
