He spoke duringthedistrict's annualmeeting Tuesday, Elections are uncontested By Paul Gauvin pgauvin@comcast.com The Hyannis Fire District will look into investing money from its piggy bank for a greater return after the possibilitywassug- gested from the floor at the district'sannual meeting Wednesday in Hyannis East Elementary School. ClerkTreasurer VernaLaFleur,whotook over the position about a year and a half ago, said she would investigate the practi- cality of tyingup some a several-hundred- thousand-dollar stabilization account after Peter Cross,acitizen,suggested short-term CDs. The issuewasinitiatedfrom the floor after Cross asked,"What isastabilization fund?" and Fire Chief Harold Brunelle explained it was a savings account used to purchase apparatus and equipment when needed without havingto get the entire cost in one year from taxpayers. Asthat kind of spending can be planned. it was suggested from the floor that CDs, money market accounts and other invest- ments pay higher yields than regular sav- ings accounts and could add considerably to the fund over the years. About 30 people,in addition to commis- sioners,fire engineers, a stenographer and policewoman, completed the 17-article warrant in less than 45 minutes without hassle or disagreements and only several comments from the floor. Town Councilor James Munafo,the only Hyannis councilor to attend, asked for an update on the district's dealings with the villagewater system sinceit waspurchased by the town and whether the district was being charged more for hydrant and water servicebythe municipalfacility thanbythe former private owners. CommissionvicechairmanDan Gallagher explainedthat additionalfunds were added to the $202,000 water budget thisyear not to satisfy a rate increase but because 10 new hydrants were added last year and 10 more are expected this year because of the high amount of development going on in Hyannis. Munafo also questioned Article 7, which sought $135,000 for street fighting, power and maintenance. He wanted to know if the district had budgeted enough in view of increasing power costs. Commission Chairman Paul Sullivan replied the district remainsin negotiations with the Cape Light Compact, which itself CONTINUED ON PAGE A:11 Hyannis Fire District will eye its investments Survey finds satisfaction A survey of Barnstable residents shows scores of 80 percent or above for questions relatingto beingvery or somewhat satisfied withtown services,withthe belief thattown government ismanaged professionally and that TownManagerJohn Klimmiseffective, andthat the town council is"working on is- suesthat are important" to the respondent and his/her family.
