Committee approves $3,450 for panic-button upgrades across town buildings
Summary
The Board of Selectmen requested $3,450 from the health-insurance contingency to replace or upgrade nonworking panic buttons in multiple town facilities; the committee approved the transfer after confirming there are roughly two dozen units in the system.
Staff said the Board of Selectmen found some panic-button units were missing or not working in various town facilities (senior center, highway department, town hall) and requested $3,450 from the health insurance contingency to upgrade or replace the system.
Committee members asked how many units exist; speakers in the record exchanged counts (one said "20," another corrected to "24"). The committee voted to approve the $3,450 transfer and recorded the unanimous oral vote.
Members described the purchase as a precautionary safety measure; no further specifications or procurement details were provided in the meeting record. Because the transcript contains inconsistent counts for the number of units, this article reports the count as represented in the meeting (20–24 units) and recommends verifying the final procurement quantity in the official town records.
