GARDEN CITY, Utah. August 21, 2014. The Garden City Fire
District board held its regular monthly meeting. Present were members Wakefield, Pope, Gracey,
and House. Absent was Randall Knight.
The board is still hunting legal
representation for advice on the under construction district regulations. The board also wants to develop a set of
standard operating procedures for the fire boat.
At the direction of the board
Chief Wahlberg will seek local bids for a storage shed to be placed near the
fire station. Discussion centered on a
shed between 150 and 200 square feet, mostly for emergency operation material.
Chief Wahlberg indicated that the
fire department has floated discussion about being the point agency for the 24th
of July barbecue at the city park, as fireworks are often used there.
The annual Raspberry Days
breakfast was completed successfully.
Numbers were slightly down with a net profit of $2700. Historically the fire department, with the
approval of the firefighters, has often donated the profit to one or more
families under financial stress for medical or other unforeseen issues and that
was the case this year.
While not part of the official
duties of the fire department, Chief Wahlberg talked to Garden City about
supporting the training of new Basic EMT’s.
Garden City said that they would provide $3,000 for the training of 3
new persons under the condition that the ambulance association would repay the
entire amount after one year of service from the newly trained EMT.
Purchase requisitions were
approved for 4 new helmets and 8 articulating helmet lights. All existing departmental equipment was
reported to be in good shape.
Due to the very unusual wet weather
of the past month there were no serious fire issues. Brett England put out a very small fire
accidentally started in a field by young persons and witnessed by Brett. He put the fire out by stomping, using no
equipment.
Tiffany Wahlberg, the district
CPA, thinks that a financial statement would be a good addition to the current
check of “Agreed Upon Procedures” required by the state.
