That was a waste of everyones time. Nothing changed and the FC got what they wanted.
The only thing that the TC did was divide the town when this agenda was not necessary. |

I agree it was not properly handled. If the TC had discussed with the Fire Co first it would likely have been resolved with no issue and what was done on Monday would have been done much earlier with no one paying any attention.
The positives. It shows the TC after seeing the reaction stepped up and was willing to listen. It shows the Fire Co was doing nothing wrong as some posters here tried to make it sound and had valid concerns or the TC would not have made the adjustments. While the process was a mess and concerning, both parties worked together in the end which is what is most important. |

Some detail missing here, for those of us not on the backchannel know. How did the FC get what they wanted? The FC lobbied to no ordinance at all. Did the TC abandon having any ordinance? |

The Fire Co seems to have gotten what they needed. The TC got an ordinance. If the TC changes were what the Fire Co wanted then it shows all the trolls here complaining about the Fire Co were just that trolls. That is a win for the Fire Co, TC and town as it shows nothing was being done wrong. But it also shows the Fire Co find drive is important since we now know the Town has a legal cap and that cap is below the Fire Co expenses. |

LOL. Talk about revisionist history. I wonder why some people have a need to try and rewrite what is easily readable on this topic and recast it as some unilateral win. |

Where did I say it was unilateral? The TC revised the ordinance three times. The only reason to do that is if the information they were basing the decision on changed. That is not revisionist that is fact otherwise the TC would have adopted what they first presented. That doesn’t mean the Fire co won, it means the TC saw validity and made changes. One can make changes because they understand something they did not before. That is leadership. It seems to me that if the changes were what the Fire Co needed and the TC supports that then this board was wrong. So either you trust the TC or you don’t. If you trust the Tc then it shows nothing rumored here about Fire Co wrong doings was correct.
This board is not a credible source. You can’t read anything here. I don’t even see the changes posted. |

The Fire Co has a new chief’s car which anyone can plainly see around town and since the TC made no mention of it and the ordinance says they can use their own funds to purchase wherever they want however they want it seems there was nothing wrong to begin with. The ordinance only says they need to follow a bid process when using town funds. |

Since you mention the Fire Co funds, how much do they have? Are those figures public? |

How much do they have? Maybe the taxpayer is contributing too much? |

I heard they have closer to 1.25 million in their coffers. |

I don't see the fire company offering up any information on here like they were when they were up in arms trying to get everybody on their side to bash the TC and Administrator. i thought all you had to do was ask and they were willing to show all to see or will we have Kervan throw a hissy fit if we ask. it should be posted for transparency or they will tell you if you want to see then you need to come to the firehouse to see. |

The tax returns for the Fire Co. were posted. So if people want to see how much money they have they just need to look.
All it seems is that people want to troll for some reason and I doubt the Fire Co or TC is going to respond to trolls. |

The posted 990's were a few years old. And they were very basic. Not a budget. |
