Finance Committee Minutes <br /> February 19 , 1988 <br /> Page 3 . <br /> Carl suggested that Article 6 also be made a line item. <br /> Article #7 and #8 can be combined seeking the Town to raise <br /> and appropriate $200 , 000 to the Stablization Fund . These funds are <br /> needed for a new ambulance (approx . cost $62 , 000) a new . pumper <br /> truck (approx . cost $180 , 000 - less with a trade in) and a 4-wheel <br /> drive vehicle (approx . cost $15 , 000) . The Chief noted that he felt <br /> he could save as much as 2 the cost of the pumper with the trade in . <br /> He requested the money be put in Stablization to be appropriated <br /> at future town meetings . The Chief also noted that a maintenance <br /> program was to be put into place to keep up maintenance on the <br /> present vehicles . <br /> Article #9 seeks the Town to vote to raise and appropriate or <br /> transfer from available funds the sum of $10 , 000 to complete the <br /> upstairs of the Fire Department . The men are going to do the work <br /> themselves , the $10 , 000 represents materials only . The Chief noted <br /> the need for training room , more office space and a bunk room with <br /> dividers . Chairman Heller expressed his belief that this should <br /> be put in the Capital Program. Jean Thomas noted that she didn ' t <br /> feel $10 , 000 would be enough money . <br /> The Finance Committee will again meet with ' the Chief to <br /> discuss the FY89 budget (March 3rd ) . Prior to that meeting Chairman <br /> Heller requested the. budget be revised showing no one added to the <br /> Department - the budget as presently submitted reflects four <br /> additional persons . He would like to have this pulled out the the <br /> budget and reflected in the Articles . He suggested leaving the <br /> career recall as it is - if the Article passes then it will be <br /> lowered .
