Campton CIP Committee debates need for emergency fund, schedules Fire and Highway walkthroughs
Summary
Committee members debated whether the town needs a dedicated emergency fund, with David Plummer arguing against it and Karl Kelly noting capital reserve holdings; the committee also agreed to walkthroughs of the Fire Department in July and the Highway Department in August.
Jack Letvinchuk raised a question previously posed by Bill Frye about whether the Town needs a dedicated emergency fund. Committee member Karl Kelly said available monies are held in a capital reserve account. David Plummer argued employees should be responsible and said insurance and rental options would cover accident situations; he cautioned that creating another fund could lead to higher taxes for residents.
No formal action was taken on establishing an emergency fund; the exchange recorded differing viewpoints and a discussion about redundancy with existing insurance and reserve accounts.
Separately, Karl Kelly proposed department walkthroughs as part of the committee’s review process: a walkthrough of the Fire Department in July and the Highway Department in August. The committee agreed to the schedule.
