erosion on Dirch Circle. Solution discussed were, punting grass on the
bank to control erosion, cutting the bank at an angle to reduce sluff
and ralsing, the road to form a ditch. Chairman)will discuss the problem
with our Contractor to get his ideas on a solution. Thanks to Mr. Arndt
for attending our meeting and bringing this problem to our attention.
Old Business:
Reyes went over changes in the Supplemental Equipment List for the Fire
House. Changes we thought necessary are as follows:
1) An assortment of Boots in small enough sizes for women, the Boots
on the list only go down to size 8, and we have put a last of emphasis
on participation by the: women in the community, the result being
a large number of women signing up for the Volunteer list.
2) Chafe the rmmbea of FEDCO rubber bladders with pump to 12 instead
of 4. This reflects our greater danger of brush fires than the
other new Fire Service District.
3) Change the number of rubber swatters with handles to 12 instead of
4. This also reflects our greater darver of brush fires.
Mathe—moved to accept the Equipment List with the above listed changes
included. Cobis seconds, vote unanimous.
Budget FY 83/84: Roads
Chairman informed us that ore had overspent our 82/83 Road Budget by
$15,000.00. this was handled by the Boro Manager arranging for a supple-
mental appropriation from uncommited money in our Fund. We have $22,000.00
left at tinaw this time, and about $32,000.00 still coming from the State
in matching funds, which the Boro grill allow us to draw nw4 against if we
need It. Considering the sometimes unreliability of State matching Funds,
the concensus was to raise our Road Budget request from last year's figure
of $45,000.00 to $60,000.00 for FY 83/84. Glen Mathes will consult the
Boro Finance Officer to determine if this will necessitate raising the mil
rate: before we finalise our Budget request.
Budget FY 83/84: Fire Protection
lengthy discussion led to the following list of items that we could expect
expenditures for:
Housekeeping supplies Electricity Bills
Phone Bill Insurance
Maintenance Costs Training materials
Community Activities Travel Expenses
Due to our lack of experience in running a.Fire Department, we feel that
a Budget Of $:;0,000.00 would give us enough slack to operate all year and
still leave enough in the Fire Protection fund to meet any unpredictable
expenses we may have to meet in the area of Start -Up and one-time only
costs. Mathes will also consult with the Boro Finance Officer about the
effect this will have on the mil rate before we finalize this request.
Glen Mathes will also find out if we are. being specific enough about the
proposed disposition of Fire Protection Funds.
Constituent complaints about some sort of Tent Camp being erected on the
former "B" parcel not: rn:med/operated by Brechan iiiterprizes. Chairman will
