Mike F. met with 4 companies at the fire fighter’s convention seeking information about building code/requirements. In the opinions he heard, the building codes are more governed by NFPA standards than SPS 330. General discussion occurred about the merit of a shared use building vs. a single use building. Mike indicated a meeting area for the fire department was paramount to his concern on the issue. Ken indicated he talked to a representative of McMahon and his opinion we could work with the existing building with alterations but strongly recommended acquiring property for a 2nd driveway. All possible options about occupancy of the building were discussed and the effect on both municipalities. Discussion occurred about having an engineering/architectural fee request from the joint boards. Ken and Tim indicated they would reach out to an engineer for cost estimates. Mike F. also would also reach out the companies he met at the convention to get a sense of the cost. It was agreed the committee would make the request for engineering fees for foot print plans from the joint boards. Ken shared the inequity of the town’s share of the fire department’s expense due to the town’s greater proportion of waterfront and water views. Tim and Tammy asked if Ken had alternative ways to divide expenses and Ken indicated he would work on it. Committee’s future: General consensus was to keep the committee going if progress was being made provided both boards approve the continuation. At 8:09 PM, Tim L. moved and Josh C. 2nd to adjourn to July 28, 2021 at 6:30 PM. M/C. Respectfully submitted, Steve Phipps Recording Secretary
