project. The first at 10:00 am with D.E.P. and the second at 11:00 am

Fire Truck Refurbishing: Vincent Lewandowski, Fire Chief of the
Kensington Fire Department is drawing up specs to refurbish the truck
so that bid prices can be obtained. Mayor Peters said that he feels it
is time to have a meeting with the Fire Board and take a hard look at
adding fire equipment. Perhaps the Departments will have to take turns
is acquiring new equipment. Also, he said that he thought it was time
for a town-wide study on what the needs of the Town are for fire
protection.
Old Business
Water Control Cc~mission A~counts: Mayor Peters said that he had met
with Jack Ross, Administrative Assistant Water Control C~¥;~.{ssion,
and Gary Clinton, Finance Director, to ascertain why there was a need
to transfer funds to cover salaries. He said that this is a unique
department, as far as financial operations are concerned, and that,
coupled with the fact that they did not have updated figures to put
into the computer during budget preparations, led to the problem. The
mo~ey was there but had been pumped into incorrect accounts. Gary
assured the Mayor that this was the last time this would happen with
salaries, the problem had been corrected and would remain so.
A discussion followed concezning the Town's three water districts.
Ambulance Study Cxmmittee: Mayor Peters asked Jim D'Errico to make
contact with Ed Fishman and see if he would ccme to the last
Executive Board meeting of September to discuss possible incentives for
our ambulance volunteers.
Tennis Courts: George Weicek, Chairman of the Park and Recreation
Cc~mission and Ted Hrubiec, Superintendent of Public Grounds, both
feel that the Timberlin courts are the best choice for the f~ni
courts. They feel that there is not as much need for it to be done to
the McCcc courts m~w that the new high school courts are open. Mayor
Peters questioned Timberlin as McGee has lights for night play.
