Garden City Fire District Business

RANDOLPH, Utah. January 17, 2013. The Policies and Procedures of the Fire Department have been rewritten.  Some additional changes were made to these items.    The question was asked if the policy was that the drivers of the fire vehicles had to have good driving records, if there was an age limit, and so forth.  It was noted that along with the policies there are standard operating procedures (SOPs) which include most of the details.  The policies are quite general.  If details are needed, the SOPs must be read.  All of the above items noted in the question are addressed and covered in the operating procedures.   A motion was made and carried to accept the changes that had been made. 

There were some questions regarding an employee contract.  Terry Allen, Fire Board Chair, had contacted the County Attorney.  He was unable to meet with him, but will follow up on this item next week. 

SCBAs prices had been discussed at the last meeting.  However, requirements and standards for SCBAs have changed.  It was decided that it would be good to wait until the new standards are in place before purchasing.

The Board had asked if the fire boat had been winterized at the last meeting. Kurek had a picture of the boat to show the Board Members.  It was covered by a canvas and is still parked upon the hill. Kurek noted that the snow was deep enough that the boat will have to remain there until the snow melts.
