etc....basically a line item where the purchases do not fit anywhere else in the line items... Supervisor
Brower-What is small equipment? W.G.F. Representative-That is fire fighting equipment that the initial
cost is under a thousand dollars...Our proposal reflects a five percent operational increase in the operational
budget not knowing what the economy is going to be...noted mortgage is down?, the net increase from last
years budget to this years is $61,000 includes the new truck and the $40,000 for the truck fund ...Supervisor
Brower noted that a 3% increase is more realistic...questioned the increase in professional fees? W.G.F.

pay by law......noted there are other companies that do compensate for record keeping... Supervisor Brower-
Immunizations and physicals in 2001 were under $2,000 in your line item was listed at forty two forty four
for 2002 now you are asking for forty four fifty six for the next two years questioned the increase...W.G.F.

year we were at 39 currently up to 45. Councilman Stec-Questioned how much do the physicals cost?
W.G.F. Representative- $200/300 per person. Councilman Stec-Focusing on the Operation Budget ...6
1/2% increase if we want to keep the increase to 3% need to cut 6,000. - Noted 40,000 will be in the
budget for the vehicle fund... Supervisor Brower-discussed the professional fee for treasurer W.G.F. Vol.

Town that do pay for similar services as this... Supervisor Brower-noted he could not support the paying of
the treasurer. Councilman Brewer-Questioned the 150,000 roof? W.G.F. Representative - The roof on
the part of the building and faces Luzeme Road is an old roof, 20 years +- noted that it leaks...no firm bids
...Councilman Brewer-I think it will be better to do this sooner than later...discussed getting bids for the
roof projct... Board requested a three percent increase in operational budget... Discussion held regarding
use of Chiefs car...Councilman Stec questioned if next year is there value in having the Town and the
leadership of the five companies meeting and come up with a uniform policy for vehicle use so we are all
on the same page? W.G.F. Representative-In my opinion the Town has come to the point where the
companies need to get rid of the us-us-us and get as one team and consolidate a lot of things. Discussed
one company....Discussed sale of the land to the SQUAD...the money could go into the roof... Thanked the
Fire Company Representatives for attending the meeting.
