4:40 PM: Fire Warden Charlie Stevenson
At 4:40 PM the Board met with Charlie Stevenson, Fire Warden. Mr. Stevenson outlined that the Fire Department has been putting $500 per year for many years into a Fire Warden savings account. The savings account was established to help offset any invoices that come from other towns for help fighting brush fires. Mr. Stevenson said that in the past 30 years he has only received one bill. As a result of a conversation with Chief Hall the Fire Department is interested in upgrading its brush truck, and using funds from the savings account to help offset a purchase. Mr. Stevenson said he was in support of the use of the funds and requested that $2,000 be left in the account.
Next Mr. Stephenson said that he has decided to retire after many years as Forest Fire Warden. Mr. Stephenson presented the Board with appointment paperwork recommending that Jim Morrison be appointed as Fire Warden. The paperwork was signed by the Selectboard after a short discussion.
