Public-safety equipment needs highlighted; town joins Gouldsboro on grant-writing for airpacks
Summary
The Fire Chief/Road Commissioner reported the public safety building boiler failure, a malfunctioning heat pump, and a plan to share the cost of a grant writer with Gouldsboro Fire Department to replace airpacks set to expire next year; the Selectmen approved advertising for sale of surplus equipment.
Under the Fire Chief/Road Commissioner update, the minutes state: 'The boiler in the public safety building is not working, the technician believes the motherboard has been fried, a new one has been ordered and will be fixed soon.' One heat pump was also reported as not working, with another technician scheduled to inspect it.
The department said it has 'joined forces with Gouldsboro Fire Department and split the cost of a grant writer to hopefully get a grant to replace our airpacks that expire next year.' The minutes note the grant writer has a 98% success rate. The Selectmen also authorized placing an advertisement for sealed bids to sell an old tanker and an unused forestry trailer (approved 3-0).
