Selectmen approve $5,000 sale of ladder truck; festival proceeds to fund replacement
Summary
The Winter Harbor selectmen approved selling an old ladder truck for $5,000 and accepted the fire department’s donation of lobster-festival proceeds to be applied toward a new truck. The item was discussed as part of the fire chief/road commissioner report.
The Winter Harbor selectmen on Aug. 25 approved the sale of the town’s old ladder fire truck for $5,000 and agreed the money will be applied toward purchasing a replacement apparatus.
The Fire Chief/Road Commissioner reported a restorationist approached a firefighter during the town’s lobster festival with an offer to buy the ladder truck. The board recorded approval of the sale and noted the fire department’s membership had voted to give all money raised at the lobster festival to the town for the new truck.
The action was entered into the minutes as an approved item. No mover or second was recorded in the minutes, and no formal vote tally beyond the board’s recorded approval was provided in the transcript.
The minutes did not specify a timeline, vendor name, or procurement procedure for the replacement truck; the board allocated the $5,000 sale proceeds toward a future purchase but did not announce a procurement schedule at the meeting.
