The Middlefield Capital Planning Committee voted on June 14 to increase the high-end cost point for a fire department engine to $1,000,000. Chair Jay Swift made the motion, Judy Hoag seconded it, and members indicated unanimous support to update the grid’s value for that line item.
Mark Lipton questioned brush truck numbers elsewhere in the fire apparatus lines, and Secretary Crystal Kruszyna said the brush truck figures should remain unchanged because, she stated, the Fire Chief is confident in the current estimates. The committee’s decision to set the engine high-end at $1,000,000 will be reflected in the next updated grid circulated to liaisons.
