Winter Harbor selectmen approve sale of ladder truck for $5,000 to fund new engine
Summary
The board approved sale of an old fire department ladder truck for $5,000, with proceeds to be applied toward a new fire truck; the offer was made by a restorationist during the lobster festival and was the first received.
The selectmen authorized the sale of the town’s ladder truck for $5,000 after the Fire Chief/Road Commissioner reported a restorationist approached a firefighter with an offer during the lobster festival. The board approved using the proceeds toward purchase of a new fire truck.
According to the minutes, this was the first offer received for the ladder truck. Fire department members voted to donate all money raised during the lobster festival to the town to be applied toward the new apparatus. The minutes record the board’s approval of the sale and the funding direction but do not list mover/second or a roll-call for that specific motion.
