GARDEN CITY, Utah. January 20, 2016. The governing board of the Garden City Fire District held its meeting in the fire station. All members were present.
The first order of business was accepting the resignation of Perry Wakefield from the board. A new board member, Gary Points, was approved by the board, having been previously nominated by the county commission. Brian House was elected chairman of the new board and Wakefield said he would remain a firefighter.
In other business, Chief Mike Wahlberg presented a status report of the existing department and also identified items in a tentative 5 year plan for departmental improvement. One of the main items under planning consideration is the acquisition of a much larger ladder truck and identifying the best way to change the existing structure to accommodate the new truck. These two items are part of the long term goals. They will not likely be completed in 2016.
Chief Wahlberg, in response to a question, said that the two items (the second pump truck and the additional hose) noted in the recent ISO letter that must be completed to keep our current ISO rating, had been finished. The chief observed that given the size of our community that the number of volunteer firefighters, their training was very nearly exeptional.
Board member Knight noted that progress was still needed on a number of items, including the policies and procedures manual.
