  2. Funds for Special Projects– In an effort to plan ahead for major purchases in the next few years, the Board is attempting to set aside funds for specific projects. Ann has made a projected view of how we should be saving.
  • In 2014, the New Glarus Fire District will be purchasing a new truck for $265,000.00. Our portion would be $22,022.56. We will try to have that amount set aside by the end of 2013.
  • The Poplar Grove Bridge project scheduled for June of 2015 is expected to be $235,000. 80% will be funded by the State, 10% by Green County, and 10% by the Town of York. Our portion would be $23,500.00. Our goal is to have $20,000.00 set aside by the end of 2013, and the remainder by 2014.
  • The last project is to try to save as much as we can towards a new town truck. Our 2000 IHC will need to be replaced in the next few years.
