Selectboard hears final draft of proposed fire-service reimbursement ordinance; board favors Town Council review
Summary
Selectboard member Fletcher Proctor presented a final draft of a proposed "Fire Service Reimbursement Ordinance" and board members, including Jeanette White and Aileen Tulloch, supported referring the draft to the Town Council for review rather than taking immediate action.
Selectboard member Fletcher Proctor presented a final draft of a proposed Putney Fire and Rescue Department Service Reimbursement Ordinance, noting he had worked on the draft with Jeanette White, Len Howard III, and the Town Manager. Jeanette White described editorial changes, including separating rate schedules from the ordinance text and removing references to medical billing.
Town Manager Karen Astley suggested sending the draft to the Town Council for legal review; several Selectboard members, including Aileen Tulloch and Jeanette White, expressed support for that referral rather than adopting the ordinance at the Feb. 18 meeting. Howard Fairman also read an attached statement regarding mutual aid and the Southwestern New Hampshire District Fire Mutual Aid System's bylaws in the packet; the Selectboard did not vote to adopt the ordinance at the meeting.
