As municipalities get set to to begin budget deliberations, a showdown could be looming between Quispamsis and Rothesay.
Both share the costs for the Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department but aren’t on the same page when it comes to a request from the Chief. Bill Ireland has asked both municipalities to roll over what-ever is left from this years budget into 2011.
Instead of refurbishing both of the Rapid Intervention Vehicles, only one will be at a cost of $15,000 dollars while the other is sold and expected to fetch $30,000 dollars. $175,000 dollars had been set aside to upgrade both vehicles.
Quipamsis has given it’s blessing to the move while Rothesay has turned it down.
