members. The Minutes of the prior meeting of January 23, 1990 were received.
The committee then proceeded to the Police Station to meet with Chief Jesse
Earls concerning his equipment replacement needs. The committee inspected
one patrol cruiser as an example of cruisers slated for replacement in the
coming fiscal year. Committee members also inspected a problem with the sewer
system in the basement of the police station. That system had backed up the
prior day. Members questioned the Police Chief both on equipment and building
needs.
The Committee then traveled to the main headquarters fire station where it met
with Fire Chief, Ed Sliney. Committee members discussed the need for replace-
ment of the Fire Chief's car and general questions were raised about the Town's
policy of utilizing old cruisers for administrative sedans for non-public
safety personnel.
Committee members then visited the Public Works Highway Garage on East Street.
DPW Director/Town Engineer, Robert Swanson, and Superintendent John Rhind
showed committee members a wide array of DPW equipment which had been parked
inside the building for easy viewing. Messrs Rhind and Swanson noted that one
dump truck slated for replacement in the ;coming fiscal year was currently not
operational and beyond the point of economic repair. Further discussion cen-
tered on the need for replacement sand spreaders with committee members inspect-
ing one sand spreader in an advanced state of disrepair. Numerous questions
were raised by committee members about the Town's public works equipment.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 11:00 A.M. at the DPW garage.
