4. 44-FD Add to Fire House – Discussion re: checking further with the State of NH regarding using the land in back of the Fire Station, known as the Tall Pines area.

10. 50-FD Purchase and Install Washer/Dryer: This was brought up out of sequence as 45-FD and 50-FD tie in together. Comparison was given re: sending clothes out for cleaning as opposed to being able to do them in house, doing in house less expensive, so sensible. High Priority and 2016 year requested.
6. 46-FD Replace Furnace Current furnace still working, does not need replacing at present. Listed as High priority, but year of 2020 suggested unless some unforeseen problem arises.
7. 47-FD Replace 1994 Pumper, 82-M2 Listed as High Priority and year 2015 requested.
8. 49-FD Number 47-FD and 49-FD are closely related and brought up out of sequence. Replace 1986 Tanker, 82-K1 This piece of equipment is 28 years old. Stability control in newer vehicles was explained. There is a substantial dollars amount in the Capital Reserve. High Priority and year of 2015 was given as desirable.
