Moshier, councilors Robert Miller, Michelle Kaplan and John Phillips, Fire Chief Richard Tupper and Deputy Fire Chief Gary Saunders discussed a new offer from NLMT, which continued to work with Moshier on contract terms after its initial $9.40 per-capita cost for a service contract met with “a less than warm reception from the Finance Committee,” Moshier said. ....
