Cont review of requisitions recommended by the Fire Department.
Fire Chief Bill Ingalls was present to discuss requisition #2373 in the amount of $3,872.85. Ingalls explained that pump on engine #2 was obsolete and had to be rebuilt. The original requisition #2391 was an approximate amount to repair the cracked primer. The Board talked about the purchase policy that anything of $3,500 must have approval by the Board. Chief Ingalls responded that due to this item being service related on an older vehicle it is difficult to get a firm dollar amount.
