(There was brief discussion <br /> regarding the necessity of new fire equipment. ) <br /> Mr.. Storrs commented that Mr. Bronow had not made a decision <br /> one way or the other about a' ladder truck, but rather <br /> incorporated the information that had been provided to him by the <br /> Fire Department. Mr. Bronow stated the current levels of service <br /> do not include a .ladder truck. <br /> Both Mr. Whritenour and Selectman an eveille repeated the Fire <br /> chief ' s insistence for the need of a ladder truck regarding <br /> issues of safety associated 'with the proposed development . <br /> . w ritenour established the fact that a ladder truck is <br /> needed for the existing development. <br /> Mr. Bronow concluded the slide presentation .by suggesting it <br /> would be helpful for him to receive comments from the Town. <br /> Mr. Whritenour asked if it would be possible to allocate <br /> revenues and costs per single family homes as part of the <br /> analysis . <br /> Mr. Bronow explained that would be the prototype analysis, <br /> which is a separate type of analysis, and would involve a good <br /> deal of work.
