The following Saugus students MEETING | from page 1 a questionable hydraulic system is not the safest place to be,” O’Regan said. Finance Committee Chair Kenneth DePatto shared O’Regan’s concerns about the safety of the bucket truck, which would cost $125,000 to replace. “I’ve seen the bucket truck,” DePatto told O’Regan. “I’m not sure OSHA [the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration] would be happy with you,” he said. Part of the needs package that Crabtree advocated for includes $57,000 for a Fire Department system for recharging oxygen tanks. “There are new OSHA guidelines that all cities and towns are required to meet,” Crabtree wrote in a statement accompany his request. “The replacement of this system will enhance the safety of the Fire Department and adhere to OSHA guidelines. The current system is approximately 25 years old,” he said. Fire Chief Michael Newbury supported the town manager’s needs assessment. “I think it’s time to move forward and protect the firefighters,” Chief Newbury said. In addition to the bucket truck, Crabtree recommends that the town buy a new compressor truck, a payloader and pickup truck for the DPW and a building maintenance UTV 4 x 4 with a snow removal package. “Several of the vehicles to be replaced by those on this list are now substantially older,” Crabtree’s written statement noted. “They range from 15 to 25 years, no longer pass inspection and require continued maintenance. All of the vehicles are used on a daily basis with high demand and performance requiring that they be fully functional and safe,” he concluded. Crabtree told the Finance Committee that the DPW had to rent a bucket truck, the compressor truck and the payloader at different times because they are critical equipment. The Finance Committee voted overwhelmingly to recommend Article 4 for the Department Equipment. Only member Ronald “Rocky” Jepson expressed concerns. While saying he had “no reason to question the need,” Jepson said he didn’t like grouping the 11 pieces of equipment all in one article. “Each should be looked at individually,” he said. Jepson also wondered if the use of free cash for one-time expenditures were a better option than borrowing. Crabtree acknowledged that he could have prepared separate articles for each of the pieces of equipment, but suggested it would only complicate matters. Doing that might also place the value of one department over another. “I think this is a better way of looking at it without politics,” Crabtree said. The town manager said he thinks borrowing the money instead of using free cash is “a much preferred financial decision” which allows the town to continue building up OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits). Town Meeting Member Albert J. DiNardo of Precinct 4 lauded the town manager for his decision to spend money on capital needs – something that members have complained wasn’t being done in the past. “This sends a good statement to Town Meeting,” DiNardo said. Other articles on the warrant for Monday night’s Special Town Meeting include these: Article 1. To see if the Town will vote to transfer $1.5 million from certified free cash to the Stabilization Fund. The current balance is $8.1 million. Article 2. To see if the Town will vote to transfer $150,000 from certified free cash to the OPEB Trust. The current balance is $720,000. Article 3.
