The vote for the aerial tower fire truck took place in September 2008 at a selectman's regular, monthly meeting. Four out of five selectman voted yes, and the fifth was not present to vote because he was on a motorcycle vacation in Indiana. Had he been there, he too would probably have voted yes with both hands.
The Laconia Daily Sun has pretty detailed news reports, and that's where I get my info, mostly.
All three buildings, community center, police & fire, were voted yes by a show of voter hands at the annual March town meeting. After a show of hands, someone always asks for a hand count, just for the record.
