    Could this be the Mayors next Press Release when they hit the tax Cap

     

    The Board first considered in depth the possibility of abolishing the paid firefighters Sanitation positions a couple of years ago but was able to avoid doing it at that time.  Recently, with the budget deadline fast approaching and the possibility of having to override the tax cap looking more and more likely, the Board revisited the option of abolishing the paid firefighters Sanitation positions and decided that doing so was in the best interest of the Village and its taxpayers.  The Private Contractor Start in June

     

    If you Work for the Village of Port Chester you Should be out with the Firefighters, You Could be Next. Using the Volunteers is just another way of Subcontracting Union jobs.

    3. Vote to approve the settlement with the IAFF.

    Mayor Otis made a motion, seconded by Councilman Chu and unanimously carried, to

    approve the settlement with the IAFF for a contract commencing 1/1/05 through 12/31/09, as

    approved by the Board of Fire Wardens and the Fire Chiefs.

    THIS IS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING Dec 3rd 2004

    City Manager Paul Shew said. He noted that the staffing complaint comes five months before paid firefighters will face contract negotiations.

    They still have Seventeen month on there contract not five, Get it right

    Yes your correct. The ladder rolled onto it's drivers side at that fire. It was in the winter of 1976 I believe. The only thing that stopped it from completely going over was the ladder hit the building. From what I'm told there was a bad ice condition on the ground.

    HFD750 is right about the ice. It was a very cold night and the water was running under the truck, ice built up under the truck, when truck slid toward the store the stabilizer on the drivers side kicked out and it went over.

    Usually, the chief of a department can't "give away" old equipment as it is not his or her place to do so.  The chief is ,more or less, only a manager of the equipment.

    If the department in question is governed by a fire district, the chief would have to approach the fire commissioners' to declare it surplus and they would have to make the ultimate decision.  If the equipment is owned by a fire department, the board of directors would likely have the final say.

    I am learning that there is a deference type's of departments, what about municipal, would it be the municipality like someone at town hall.
