Cheshire Works to Obtain Borrowing for Fire Truck

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass.—The Fire Department's new firetruck is ready, but the town can not pay for it.
 
During a special town meeting last year, voters approved the borrowing of $850,000 for the purchase of a new fire truck. However, the meeting was not properly posted, causing a delay in borrowing.
 
One of the borrowing requirements is that the town supply the posting of the special election but since it was not properly posted, the town can not provide that. 
 
"The way around that is to have special legislation approved by the state of Massachusetts, to basically approve the special election," one member said.  
 
Another option is to have another special election. However, it can not be held close to the annual election. There isn't time to add the article to the annual election, said Town Administrator Jennifer Morse. 
 
State Rep. John Barrett III has been involved in this process for going on eight months and state Sen. Paul Mark is also involved to aid on the Senate side, Morse said. 
 
The best path forward is getting the town meeting approval on the Legislature to make it an official meeting. It's just a matter of getting it on the docket, one board member said.
