The Town Board was asked to consider increasing the truck reserve by $30,000 instead of earmarking it for the fire truck bond payment. The money budgeted for reserve will stay in the reserve. It currently contains $30,000.
Councilperson David Maul - The reserve should have a minimum of 2 years of payments from the Town.
Mayor Cramer was not sure when the Village would need to buy the next truck.
The reserve amount of $30,000 is a 71/29% split Town/Village each year.
