While the town continues to discuss whether to provide fire and rescue services from five or six stations, it wants to hire more firefighters to keep the current stations open and operational, even after the Sandwich Road station is built.
Falmouth Select Board, at its meeting on Monday, May 10, directed Town Manager Julian M. Suso to develop a staffing model and bring it back to the board that would keep all stations open, including the West Falmouth location. Since last July, the station has only been staffed when firefighters volunteer for overtime to man it.
âI suggest starting now to build that financial package to hire more to keep West Falmouth open even after the new Sandwich Road station is open,â select board member Douglas H. Jones said.
The Falmouth Select Board on Monday night, April 26, expressed its frustration over the lack of information available at Town Meeting that might have caused an article to fund renovations of the police station to fail.
Following the finance committeeâs advice, Town Meeting members rejected the article, which sought $1.1 million. The finance committee recommended indefinite postponement of Article 12 on the warrant because members were not given details on the cost estimate.
âI do want to apologize to Town Meeting members, the finance committee and the select board for placing you in a difficult and awkward position regarding this important renovation project due to the late timing of our receipt of the final cost estimate,â Town Manager Julian M. Suso said.
