Monday, September 21, 2009 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS PLAINSBORO FIRE DISTRICT # 1 MEDIA BACKGROUNDER FIRE APPARATUS REPLACEMENT VOTE Note: The following information is provided as a briefing document to the media. Apparatus Replacement Vote On September 26, 2009, Plainsboro voters will have the opportunity to vote on a proposal by the Board of Fire Commissioners to replace two aging pieces of front-line fire apparatus. The election will take place at the firehouse, 407 Plainsboro Road, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Proposal The Board of Commissioners has voted to replace two pieces of fire apparatus – a 1977 pumper and a 1979 aerial tower ladder. The trucks were refurbished in the 1990s, but are more than five years beyond their maximum service life. Tax Impact The Board of Commissioners anticipates no tax impact on Plainsboro taxpayers as a result of this replacement project. The Plainsboro Fire District has incorporated anticipated capital reserve into the budget process to offset the anticipated apparatus replacement schedule costs. At this time, the District has $300,000 remaining on capital reserve after paying recently purchased equipment and expects to provide a $750,000 down payment on these two units. The required bonds will be of a short term duration. ***To read the entire article please select the paper icon just below the story.
