Sharon CD had a small group in attendance this week due to the long holiday weekend. Yet members were still productive as usual. Wiring of the generator on the Utility truck continued with new parts that were ordered last week.

A over the air television antenna is being installed to continue our office/communications room upgrades. The antenna will be placed on our communications mast high above the EOC. This antenna will give the ability to switch our multiple monitors to over the air tv rather than commercial cable. The project includes using new wiring tools and equipment. A mast mount was fabricated and will be installed approximately 30 feet in the air using the departments bucket truck.

White boards were ordered and delivered to retrofit the older chalk boards in our office and staff room. Wiring of our fax machine and the 1630 information radio station was completed. This was needed because of a town-wide change over to voice over IP phone systems.

And the last of the previous fiscal year's grant equipment was delivered to Sharon EOC. Delivered were 6 special needs cots. These cots are fold able, padded, have hand and side rails and also have the ability to hold an IV bag. They were purchased through the Sharon BOH/MRC through federal grant monies. The cots will be used for sheltering and a dispensing site. See the picture below.
