Dec. 13 – Peru voters are being asked to approve the purchase of a new ambulance and vote on the election of a Fire Commissioner and Department Treasurer. Voting will be held on Tuesday, December 14th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Peru Fire Station. The ambulance proposition will permit the Department to purchase an ambulance for not more than $175,000. $50,000 is on hand in the general fund and the current ambulance should sell for a minimum of $12,500, therefore the Department anticipates issuing serial bonds of approximately $112,500. The Department attempts to replace its ambulance every ten years. The current ambulance is a 1999 Ford.
Courtney Tetrault is running for re-election as a Fire Department Commissioner and Robert Akey is running for reelection as Department Treasurer.
Greg Timmons chairs the Fire Department Commissioners. Other members include Bruce Dimock, Frank LaBombard and Scott Houser.
