Explanation: The Fire & Rescue Department received the SAFE trailer through a grant from the <br /> State Fire Marshal's Office. The intent of this grant was to provide the communities of <br /> Barnstable County full use of this trailer. Transfer of this trailer to the Barnstable County Fire <br /> Prevention Association would transfer all liability and maintenance responsibilities that the Town <br /> currently incurs regarding the upkeep of this trailer. <br /> Recommendation: The Finance Committee recommends approval. <br /> Motion made by Nancy Caffyn. <br /> Motion: I move the Town authorize the Executive Secretary, acting as the Town's Procurement <br /> Officer, to transfer ownership of the Fire & Rescue Department's "SAFE" trailer to the <br /> Barnstable County Fire Prevention Association. <br /> Motion passes unanimously at 7:36pm. <br /> Article 25 <br /> To see if the Town will vote to adopt the following new By-law: <br /> Chapter 46 Fire Hydrants <br /> Section 1: To ensure fire safety for the inhabitants of the Town, no obstructions including, but <br /> not limited to, plantings, trees, fences, and walls shall be allowed between the street and any fire <br /> hydrant and/or within 3 feet of the sides or rear of said hydrant. <br /> Section 2: No property owner shall place or permit to remain any such obstruction around or <br /> about any fire hydrant on his property.
