Public safety report: boiler failure, grant bid with Gouldsboro, and plan to sell unused tanker
Summary
The Fire Chief/Road Commissioner reported a failed boiler motherboard and a malfunctioning heat pump at the public safety building; the department partnered with Gouldsboro to hire a grant writer for replacement airpacks and the Selectmen approved advertising sealed bids to sell an old tanker and an unused forestry trailer (3-0).
The Fire Chief/Road Commissioner told the Selectmen that the public safety building's boiler appears to have a fried motherboard; a replacement has been ordered. One heat pump is not working and a technician will inspect it.
The chief said the department has joined with the Gouldsboro Fire Department and will split the cost of a grant writer to pursue funding for airpacks that expire next year; the minutes note the writer has a 98% success rate. The Selectmen also moved and seconded to advertise sealed bids for an old tanker and a forestry trailer that has not been used in years; that motion was approved 3-0.
No dollar figures for replacement equipment or expected grant amounts were recorded in the minutes. The board did not record any further motions to purchase new equipment at this meeting.
