Middlefield Capital Planning Committee approves amended meeting minutes, adding transfer station grant opportunity. The committee heard liaison reports on departmental capital needs, including fire equipment with two state-mandated 800 radio upgrades costing $10,500 each for vehicles and $6,500 each for handheld units across police and fire--fourteen radios totaling $123,000 required within 12 months. The brush truck is flagged in fair to poor condition with high risk of failure within three years.
Chair Jay Swift committed to developing a capital expenditure list for Town Hall with assistance from Ann Marie Visconti, and the committee voted to remove bridges, culverts, and roads from its planning scope.
