Select Board considers warrant article to lease/purchase two powered ambulance cots
Summary
Fire Chief Randy Flynn asked the board to add a lease/purchase warrant article for two powered cots (plus a portal CPR unit), saying the equipment reduces provider injuries and has a 15–20 year life expectancy; DRA recommends a separate warrant article for lease/purchase financing.
Fire Chief Randy Flynn asked the Select Board to consider adding a lease/purchase warrant article to finance two powered ambulance cots and a portal CPR unit that were previously budgeted but not purchased when the budget tightened. Flynn told the board powered cots have reduced provider injuries and estimated their life expectancy at 15–20 years.
Town Manager Jessica Cyr said the Department of Revenue Administration recommends funding the purchase via a separate warrant article classed as a lease/purchase; the board will vote at the next regular meeting on whether to add that article to the warrant. The minutes record no motion or vote at the work session itself.
