CAPITAL BUDGET PRESENTATIONS Ambulance Chief, Rich D'Alessandro addressed the Board. Mr. D' Alessandro provided the

discussion regarding the various items being requested. The Board will consider the requests as
part of the overall capital budget.

is requesting two capital budget expenditures this year. One is to cover the cost of the new

Representatives from the Fire Department addressed the Board. Some of the safety equipment
being requested by the fire department is mandated by the State. This includes new air packs and
bailout gear. The department is also requesting a new fire chief vehicle and a remote control
hose nozzle for the ladder truck. This device would have been helpful in fighting two recent
fires in the Village. Discussion ensued.
