Garden City Fire Dept. Meeting Notes

 

Reporter:  Randall Knight

All board members were present along with the Fire Chef and Tiffany Wahlberg.

The meeting started on time a 6:30pm.  There were no public members present.

 

The agenda was approved along with last month’s minutes.

The board reviewed and signed the 2026 Fraud Risk Assessment and the financial certification for 2025.

The board also accepted. the conflict-of-interest policy and forms.  Only 3 of the board members had completed the state required annual training.

 

The secretary will write up a policy that states that for any incident that requires medical assistance outside the fire district basic first aid requires notification of the board members.  The board reviewed the material readiness and housekeeping task lists and presented it to the Chief for review and comment. 

 

The board Chair suggested that as new vehicles are obtained, the old ones could be parked on the new lot for supplementary use.  The board and Chief agreed.

 

 AFG grant has been submitted. The Chief is applying for BLM surplus vehicles, but that one is not very likely because the department doesn’t participate in a lot of BLM wildfires compared to other districts.  The day after the meeting the Chief was notified the grant was offered for purchasing PPE equipment.

 

This is how many call outs there were: 5CO calls, 3 fire alarms, 1 propane leak, 1 agency assist, 7 medicals, 26 short-term rental inspections, 4 fire pit inspections, 4 burn permits
