Just how over $2,400 in money recently collected for the Lexington Fire Dept. Auxiliary will be spent, was a major topic at the Lexington town council meeting last Monday night. Some fire department members want the money given to the department to spend, however, the auxiliary decided to consult the council before anything is purchased. The money was collected in a recent scrap metal drive orchestrated by Jean and A1 Brazell of Lexington Machine Works. The auxiliary is an official non profit organization, so any donations from individuals to the organization now will be tax deductible. The auxiliary will make final decisions how the money will be spent, however, Monday they asked that all requests from the fire department for equipment over $50 be sent to the town council first. According to Lexington Mayor John Renfro the auxiliary has decided to allocate all funds not donated for a specific purpose at 75 percent for the fire department, and 25 percent on fire education, smoke detectors, etc. The auxiliary also decided to request two bids on any equipment or supplies that will be purchased. Lexington resident Carmen Wilson expressed frustration with what seems like red tape and the slowness with which the fire department requests for equipment were being handled.
