VISTOR COMMENTS:
Visitor wanted to revisit last years Board discussion on the purchase and installation of
emergency generator. Emergency generator is in capital budget and will hopefully be funded this
year. If not funded alternatives need to be looked at ad fire station is a designated shelter.
Discussion followed. S. Arndt thanked visitor for comments and closed Public Hearing.
BUDGET DISCUSSION ON FLOOR
A. DeVries — Question regarding contingency/ depreciation fund in budget
S. Arndt — Fund used to balance budget
S. Arndt — Borough took additional funds last year to bring loan balance to $300K, Service Area
not being charged interest on monies owed for budget overage.
D. Carsents — What is fund balance going to be used for? If funding not received for emergency
generator from capitol budget, board should revisit funding.
S. Arndt — Propose that fund balance be used to purchase new pickup truck and tank, Board
responsible for first $100k (deductible) of costs for new equipment if equipment is lost. What
was amount requested to state for generator?
Robert Himes- $45k
S. Arndt- Tier 4 engines are now required
R. Carstens- Do all other emergency providers have back up power?
S. Arndt- Yes, all but Women's Bay. Don't disagree that generator is needed, monies are not yet
allocated for anything in particular.
S. Arndt- Any additional questions?
