Council unanimously passed a resolution that authorized Norwalk Finance Director Michelle Reeder to earmark the $50,000 in the general capital improvement for the two projects; $43,000 will go toward a used fire truck and $7,000 to repave the parking lot.
Sitting in the lot now is one of two vehicles that Chief John Soisson placed out of service Friday morning, a 1994 Freightliner pumper/tanker. Also out of commission is the department’s 1985 Gruman pumper. The two vehicles failed to pass a liability-related safety inspection by a trooper with the state Highway Patrol that was done at Soisson’s request.
