Selectmen approve sale of ladder truck for $5,000 to help fund new apparatus
Summary
At the Aug. 25 meeting the Winter Harbor Selectmen approved sale of the town’s ladder truck for $5,000 and directed proceeds from the lobster festival toward purchase of a new fire truck.
At their Aug. 25, 2025 meeting, the Town of Winter Harbor Selectmen approved the sale of the town’s ladder truck for $5,000 and recorded that proceeds from the recent lobster festival would be given to the town to help fund a replacement fire truck.
Under the Fire Chief/Road Commissioner agenda item, the minutes note, “This is the first offer we have had.” The board approved the proposed sale and the allocation of festival proceeds toward a new apparatus. The minutes do not record a mover, seconder, or individual roll-call votes beyond the board’s approval action.
The action transfers responsibility for deciding next procurement steps to the fire department and town administration; the minutes identify no timeline or vendor name for the new truck. The board also recorded that department members voted to give all money raised during the lobster festival to the town for the fire truck.
