Proposed Fire Hall Extens~o~ The Committee recommends that Council stand by its original decision to proceed with the Fire Hall Extension this year. The sum of $100,000.00 has been allocated in the Capital Forecast for 1976 for this purpose. As the alternate arrangements which have been mentioned would be, at best, a temporary situation, and as the cost of renovating the present building to suit these temporary arrangements would be considerable, as the cost of making the permanent extension in the future wo~d cost as much or more than completing the entire extension at this time, the Committee makes the recommendation to stand by the original decision to proceed this year. The Committee further recommends that building plans be prepared, for use this building season, by Building Inspector Roy Harrington, Works Superintendent Bill Walker, Town Engineer J. D. Reid, and the Fire Chief. Z.. Letter #.8·-39 Monthl:y Fire Report for March 1976 The Committee recommends that this report be received as information. 3. Letter #6-55 Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs Confer~p~- The Committee recommends that the Fire Chief be allowed to attend this conference in Oshawa, on May 2,3 4th and 5th. 'i976, and that the usual expenses be allowed. 4. Proposed Use of Vehicles The Committee recommends that when the new fire van is purchased and received, that it be used as an Emergency Rescue Van containing all the emergency equipment and that the old van be used as the Fire Chief's Van for his day to day work in inspecting, purchasing, etc. This policy has the advantages of, firstly, that the emergency equipment be kept in a better condition for emergency use then otherwise possible because of the lack of condensation, etc., which builds up in the winter, and, secondly, that response time will be shortened by having the emergency equipment readily available at the fire hall at all times. ..
