GARDEN CITY, Utah.  November 7, 2018. Chairman Randall Knight presided and all other board members were present.

Fire Chief Mike Wahlberg reported on the progress of the station addition.
The 2019 Draft Budget was discussed in depth and subsequently approved.
The upcoming Christmas party was set for Tuesday December 4th at 6:30 and the fire board set for the following day, Wednesday but earlier at 5:00.

Wahlberg reported on the responses for the month:
2 - Fire
5 - Medical Calls
1 - Carbon monoxide call
1 - Major call - The department was the first responders to the scene of the semi truck accident that destroyed the Pugstones Sporting Goods building as previously reported in the RCT. It was first and foremost a possible fire incident, which did not occur, but took the lead of the accidents for three days.

Much was discussed about this runaway truck and what needs to be addressed for alleviating this kind incident from happening again; mandatory brake checks at the summit, larger signs to alert the drivers of the 8% grade and a reduced speed limit for truckers.
