Reports
Lynn Stapleton provided the following reports:
Report of Meeting from July 21, 2008
Draft Feasibility Study of 7-30-08
Draft Space and Needs Program of 7-23-08
Fire Station Project
Bob Miller made several minor typographical corrections to the study. Don Poole asked
several question about the combination of equipment/tools, etc and storage areas. We
also discussed the types of equipment which should be stored in the apparatus area. This
apparatus area essentially plans to store only the equipment that we currently own, which
largely to meet the long range equipment needs of the town. Ed Lewis asked some
questions about the future staffing projections of the department relative to fulltime
versus call staffing. Chief Jones discussed the nature of encouraging a call department.
Lynn suggested that we may want to look at some other similar communities relative to
staffing needs, which translate into the space needs. The Building Needs and Assessment
Committee will be meeting on Wednesday August 13, 2008 and intends to review the
draft documents and provide comments to the Maguire Group.
Bob Miller asked Lynn Stapleton to include in the next report, the breakdown of the
"needs", "wants" and "wishes" of the department. Also provide the Maguire's group
recommendation what should be included in the Fire Station Project to the BNAC.
Adjournment
Bob Miller adjourned the meeting.
