On Going and Past Activities

We have not done a blog entry since December, but Sharon CD has been busy. Here is a brief summary of some of the past and on going activities.

The capital outlay process for large purchases for the Town departments has gone through its reviews. CD asked for an Emergency Management Kit, funding for a new truck, and some funding for generator improvements to the Community Center and Hixon Farm Community Building.

Dir. Polimer presented these items to the committee. Members Levine, Vogenberg, and B. Polimer, lead the capital committee on their annual department tour. The video is on the Sharon Community TV website for viewing.

Some requests will be funded through other means and others will go through the process and voted on in Town Meeting in May.

Members have been working on reprogramming UHF radios for various Town departments including Fire Department, Recreation Department, Council on Aging, and Department of Public Works. For the DPW, CD members helped install new radios in vehicles that old radios would not work with the new FCC rules.

Projects around the CD HQ are as follows, installing air lines to our staff room, fabricating the LED sign trailer, fabricating a new table for our metal chop saw, fabricating led flasher holders for traffic barrier applications.

We continue to participate in on going meetings of the LEPC, town department heads meetings and weekly meetings with the various public safety officials.

Our monthly RACES radio drill was completed with other local towns and MEMA for the months of January, February. As always we are looking for new members interested in radio communications. Any Ham Radio operators in Sharon or surrounding towns are highly encouraged to help us.

Please stop by any Monday night at 7pm, or email the blog @ polimerbj@gmail.com.
