BACKGROUND
At the Fire Advisory Board meeting on Sept. 18, 2019, Chief Aaron Vance presented a Certificate of Need for Hugh’s Pond Volunteer Fire Department. They are planning to purchase a new 2019 Ferrara Pumper/Rescue Intruder H6542, 1750 gpm Hale Pump, 1,000 gallon tank, 6 person cab apparatus. This truck will replace their “first out” 2004 Engine and their 1998 Rescue truck, that is beginning to incur high maintenance costs. Once the new truck is in service, they will use the 2004 as a second engine and the 1998 Freightliner will be sold. They plan to finance $390,000 through Home Trust Bank. Payments will be $35,052.51 annually for 15 years. They will not be requesting a tax increase. Barry Joye made a motion to recommend to the Commissioners that they extend the Certificate of Need to Hugh’s Pond Volunteer Fire Department. Matt Kanupp seconded the motion. There was no further discussion or opposition. The vote was unanimous. The motion carried.
