Board finalizes town-hall payment and approves $2,500 credit card for fire chief
Summary
The board approved final payment of $10,000 to Harold’s Concrete (ARPA-funded) and authorized issuing a town credit card to the fire chief with a $2,500 limit after the chief spent nearly $300 from his own funds for emergency supplies.
Clerk (Speaker 4) told the board the town paid the final $10,000 due to Harold's Concrete on the town-hall project and requested authorization to issue a town credit card to the fire chief for town fire business.
Speaker 4 said, "At Memorial Day, the batteries were dead... the fire chief had to run to O'Reilly's. He spent nearly $300 out of his own pocket." Committee member (Speaker 2) moved to issue a card for the fire chief with a $2,500 limit; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board members noted routine departmental credit-card practices and agreed the card would be used for town fire-business purchases. Staff will coordinate issuing the card and establish an appropriate limit and oversight.
