GARDEN CITY, Utah. August 14, 2014. Mike Wahlberg requested that the City donate
$3,350 for EMT training. He felt this
amount of money would pay the tuition for three individuals to car pool and
travel to Bridgerland for this training.
Students are required to attend 36 classes in order to complete the
training. He currently has five people
that are interested in taking advantage of becoming EMTs. He noted that the Ambulance Association will
reimburse the City for this training when it is complete and the trained
individuals assist for at least one year after certification.
The City requested that Wahlberg obtain a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) from the Ambulance
Association making sure that the money will be reimbursed after the one
year. The City said they had only
budgeted $3,000 for such training, and that Wahlberg would have to get the
additional funds from another source.
The City said they would hold the $3,000 reimbursement in a fund that
could be used each year in a similar way.
Chief Wahlberg also asked the
City if it would be possible for the Fire District to sponsor a 24th of July
party next summer. He noted that in the
past the Fire District has held a community picnic during June where a picnic dinner
was served to the community. Fire
information and fun had been provided and been very successful in the
past. He felt this activity could be
moved to the 24th of July and add fireworks to this activity. Wahlberg felt he
could solicit donations for the fireworks to be shot off at the Park and make
this an all-day festival. The City told
him to go ahead and keep them informed of his plans.
