Vehicle MaintenanceThis division within the department of public works is responsible for the repair and fueling of every town vehicle. Highperformance police cruisers and fire apparatus, as well as over twenty pieces of equipment within the highway division,school, park and cemetery vehicles are serviced through this program. The department is unable to keep up with thetechnological advancements in the new vehicles and as a result the need to out source repairs becomes greater eachyear. Public Works allocation was $51,000.00.The balance of the $43,886.00 not expended due to the aforementionedspending freeze was used to cover overages of other departments in the program.Tree RemovalAs tree warden, the public works director oversees all tree work within the town right-of-way. The budget allocationremained at $7000.00. Due to the lack of appropriate funding the backlog of work increases yearly. The 2007expenditure was $7350.00. Given the fact that there exists in our town over 200 lane miles of roadway the aboveallocation equates to $35.00 per mile dedicated to the maintenance of trees.Solid Waste / RecyclingPersonnel from the DPW order, provide storage, and distribute the curbside recycle bins and trash bags to residentsand participating businesses throughout the community.Snow RemovalThe smooth and safe passage of pedestrian and vehicle traffic is the primary function of the DPW during winteroperations. Road sand processed by town personnel is mixed with salt to treat roadways during snow /ice events. The salt is purchased through a cooperative of 14 communities in an attempt to acquire the best possiblepricing. Historically this account runs in a deficit and 2007 was no exception. The overall expenditure totaled$167,000.00 even though this winter was considered to be exceptionally dry.As always, I am grateful for the continued patience and support of our citizens and fellow town employees as wepersevere through these difficult times. Thank you.FIRE DEPARTMENTChief Scott F. GlennyThis year the Fire Department has responded to increased calls for service as well as multiple requests for plans reviewof potential new construction. This will continue to be the trend as the town changes and grows over the next fewyears. As these demands increase, so will the need to increase our staffing of both call and career firefighters. Weneed to staff our station with a minimum of two Firefighter / EMT’s during the night and continue to staff heavier duringthe day when all our call Firefighter / EMT’s are out of town at work. The increased demand for service continues toimpact our need for supplies and funding for vehicle maintenance as our vehicles are on the road more frequently.The order for our new Rescue Pumper was placed and is on track for delivery in late June. We look forward to thisdelivery. The new Self Contained Breathing Apparatus was ordered but due to a significant price increase we were notable to replace all of them and will be requesting monies to finish the replacement at the next town meeting. The orderthat was placed arrived in December. By allowing us to purchase this new equipment with the new technology thetownspeople have made our job of protecting them much safer.Training is an ongoing requirement of the fire service. In addition to routine training, members of our dive team havecompleted training in cold water / ice rescue diving. We also have several members who have completed ConfinedSpace and Rope Rescue training. We continue to work with our Local Emergency Planning Committee, our Board ofHealth, as well as other Boards and Committees and Departments to prepare for any emergency that may arise. As wecontinue to provide prompt response to calls for service and continue to place a high priority on training andpreparedness for unforeseen events, we are more prepared to serve the residents of our town. We are the first line ofdefense and we are proud to serve in this role.I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the other Departments, Boards and Committees for their help andcooperation when ever we have called upon them. This help and cooperation is what makes our town a safe place inwhich to live.
