The Fire District meeting was held on Wednesday, March 16 at
6:00 PM instead of Thursday due to conflicts with training classes held in
Logan. Next month’s meeting will be back
on schedule and will be held on April 21 at 6:00 PM.
The board reviewed the updated section of the Policy and
Procedure section dealing with the Emergency Vehicle Policy. The board asked Randall to reword when the IC
truck would be transferred to the Vice Chief.
The current draft said it would be transferred if the Chief was not
available for 3 days.
The board discussed
the Chief’s request to upgrade the rescue boats outboard motors to 250-300
hp. The current motors have to work
really hard to maintain course and speed in rough water. Both new and used motors will be
considered. The Chief would like
authorization to purchase two motors within a specified budget so he doesn’t
miss out on a really good deal. The
board asked if the boat was used more or less than Brush truck 40 which also
needs some overhauls. The Chief reported
the boat was used more times than the truck.
He is also working with a company to purchase a reusable winter cover
for the boat instead of a onetime shrink wrap cover.
Gary Points and
Brian House provided copies of their Public Meeting training certificates for
the file. This will be the first time
all board members have verified training certificates on file in several years.
