Summary
At the Sept. 27 meeting, the Roxbury fire chief asked selectmen for $7,500 in COVID-19 relief funds to buy gear; the board voted 2-0 to call a special town meeting to appropriate the money.
At the Sept. 27 Board of Selectmen meeting in Roxbury, the fire chief asked the board to increase next year’s fire-department budget and to approve the use of $7,500 in COVID-19 relief funds to buy gear.
Selectman Ray Hodsdon moved that the town call a special town meeting to appropriate $7,500 from COVID funds for hitches/gear; Selectman Matthew Patneaude seconded and the motion passed 2-0. The minutes state the chief reviewed costs for the gear needed but do not list line-item prices.
The action now requires the special town meeting to be scheduled and the appropriation to be placed on its warrant. The board did not record additional debate or a breakdown of specific gear purchases in the minutes.
