12 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> August 31, 2020 <br /> Discussion and Possible Action on Draft#4 of the October 19, 2020 Town Meeting Warrant: (continued) <br /> Article 418: To design a Wastewater and Stormwater Collection System—Route 151 Corridor Improvement <br /> Project - $490,200 <br /> Since the deadline has passed,the wording for debt authorization cannot be used in the article until the May <br /> 2021 Town Meeting. This may defer an opportunity to apply for stimulus funds if the project is not construction <br /> ready. Discussion followed with respect to alternative solutions to fund this article. <br /> After considering several options the Town Manager was directed to review the possibility of re-purposing <br /> $250,000 in design funds allocated for the JBCC wastewater initiative, using the 75% local receipts (hotel/motel <br /> taxes) that have been deposited and earmarked for wastewater with the balance to derive from the Capital <br /> Stabilization Account. The Town Manager was authorized to request Town Counsel to assist with language <br /> modifications associated to the JBCC wastewater initiative. <br /> Discussion of Adding the Following Article: <br /> Purchase of LifePak Cardiac Monitors/Defibrillators in the Amount of$55,095 for the Fire Department: <br /> Fire Chief Thomas Rullo: <br /> After learning the current monitors/defibrillators were not eligible for further upgrades in software and realizing <br /> that a failure would place an ambulance out of service Fire Chief Thomas C. Rullo requested approval of a Town <br /> Meeting article to authorize funding for equipment required by State Regulations (OEMS). <br /> This article would use Ambulance Receipt funds for the purchase of(3) Cardiac Monitor/Defibrillators for the <br /> Town's ambulances. The sum of$55,095 would be transferred from the Ambulance Receipts Account to the <br /> Fire Department Capital Account. The new version of the LifePak 15 V4 typically costs approximately $50,000 <br /> per unit with all required equipment. <br /> Motion made by Selectman O'Hara to include and support New Article for placement on the October <br /> Town Meeting warrant. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Sherman. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Cotton,yes Selectman O'Hara,yes Selectman Sherman,yes <br /> Selectman Gottlieb,yes Selectman Weeden,yes Opposed, none <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Motion made by Selectman O'Hara to adjourn at 7:54. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Sherman. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Cotton,yes Selectman O'Hara,yes Selectman Sherman,yes <br /> Selectman Gottlieb,yes Selectman Weeden,yes Opposed, none <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Kathleen M.
