Selectmen discuss new pumper tanker and move FEMA funds to investments
Summary
The board debated purchasing a new pumper tanker fire truck and approved a motion to transfer all FEMA funds into the town's investment account to support related planning; the vote was recorded 3-0.
Winter Harbor Selectmen discussed purchasing a new pumper tanker fire truck at the July 14 meeting. Following discussion, the board approved a motion to move all FEMA funds to the town's investment account; the minutes report the action as Approved 3-0.
The minutes do not include details on the proposed truck specification, estimated total purchase price, or a timeline for procurement. The transfer of FEMA funds to the investment account suggests the town is preparing financially for a capital purchase, but residents seeking further detail should request the capital plan or ask the Town Manager for the procurement timeline and cost estimates.
J. Tracey was also noted in the minutes under Fire Chief/Road Commissioner as expected to start next week, which may affect department leadership during the procurement process.
