Additional information will be sent to the Board <br /> regarding EMHS, EMARC, and recreation issues . The Board of <br /> Health felt that it needed some more money in mileage. The Elder <br /> Services budget was reviewed and it was felt that additional <br /> funding in the fuel for the senior van would be needed. <br /> The Veterans Services budget was reviewed. It was felt that the <br /> Veterans Aid line item at $16,000 may be under funded by about <br /> $4,000. <br /> The Recreation budget was reviewed. It is a primarily self- <br /> sufficient budget. It was requested that the Recreation Program <br /> Supervisor's hours be increased to .75 on a year-round basis. <br /> The general Human Services budget was reviewed. , <br /> The Fire Department budget was reviewed. Emphasis was on discus- <br /> sion of the replacement of the ladder truck. The Chief indicated <br /> that there was a 10-year plan to regionalize some functions. If <br /> a new ladder truck is acquired, it will be less likely to have to <br /> take the ladder truck out of service because it is a one-man <br /> operation instead of two man. <br /> The Police budget was reviewed. In answer to a question, the <br /> Chief responded that he has had as little as two people "on the <br /> street" at one time. Asked what areas concerned him the most, <br /> the Chief indicated that we are not funding anything for police <br /> reserves. This requires about $50 per person per year for train- <br /> ing equipment etc. The Chief was commended for his "On the <br /> Beat" column that is written by Officer Iapicca. Questions were <br /> raised with regard to the Dispatchers need for uniforms and the <br /> Head Dispatcher position. Further information will be supplied <br /> to the Board on those issues. <br /> On motion by Hoyt, seconded by Nigro the Board voted to adjourn <br /> and 10:55 p.m. by vote . of 5-0-0. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Secretary <br />
