Board discusses offered trailer-mounted generator; requests inspection and siting analysis
Summary
Select Board discussed a private offer to donate a trailer-mounted generator, but members agreed to inspect the unit, confirm fuel type and power rating, check parts availability and siting before accepting the donation.
A board member reported that a private party offered a trailer-mounted generator to the town at no cost. Members cautioned that essential details are unknown (age, fuel type, power output, and whether parts/services are available locally) and agreed no acceptance should occur until an inspection and due diligence are completed. "We would need to do our due diligence...we can't just take something without adding a purpose for it," a Committee member said.
The board discussed potential siting (school vs. town hall) and estimated power needs: the school gym/kitchen would require a larger unit than the town hall. Members asked to get more technical details from the donor and, if useful, arrange for Jason or another technician to inspect the generator before the board makes any commitment.
