<br />He stated his request for a 2 -cents tax increase remains the same, but advised
<br />Northeast would like to purchase a tanker instead of a pumper truck. He added
<br />this change will allow staffing levels to remain the same and will allow
<br />Northeast to secure a loan for the tanker. He advised the tanker will count
<br />toward lowering the Department's ISO rating.
<br />Kevin Kirk, resident of 2251 Gold Hill Road East in Mount Pleasant and
<br />Northeast VFD Fire Chief, reiterated Mr. Bergeron's comments. He stated the 2-
<br />cents tax rate increase and the purchase of a tanker will aid the department in
<br />reducing their ISO rating to a 6.
