Fire Department Report:
Chief Don Rogers stated that in July we had:
Grants and Grant Projects: Don stated that he and Marian were working on a letter to send to Larimer County Emergency Services requesting that the Type 3 engine that they are getting rid of be donated to us. Firewise: None. Miscellaneous: Engine 2 is currently at Beck’s Automotive. The oil leak is from the output shaft on the pump. Jim is working with Brindlee Mountain to get it repaired.
We discussed the gas theft from the department’s fuel tank this past weekend. Don discussed what LCSO had done to try figure out who had broken into the tank. We had a discussion about how to prevent this from happening again. If there is some sort of pandemic problem we are vulnerable to be hit again. Don is going to check with the county and with Fort Collins police to see if they have some sort of camera that can be setup to watch the area. We are also going to look at different valve arrangements for the tank. Don did make a new device that fits over the current valve that can be locked. Building Maintenance: Harold stated that some repairs need to be made to the station prior to winter. A motion was made to spend up to $400 for repairs for building repairs. A motion was made and was passed to allow this. Don will check with UBC and Sutherland Lumber to see if they will donate some of the material we need. We will advertise the old trucks to see if we can sell them before winter. The buyer for the Blue truck changed him mind about buying the truck. Dave Gentry has been hired to clean the department bathrooms for $20 a month. Ed stated that he and Pat Carlson as Crystal Lakes residents are going to take an EMT class and wanted to know if we would pay for part of their tuition? The board declined. Ed asked if Red Feather could show our ice rescue gear at the golf tournament at Fox Acres on Sept 4th. Don will take it down with him on the 4th. Mary read a letter from the Crystal Lakes Road and Rec. and the Water and Sewer Boards about our meeting with them. They have removed all references about the fire department from their permit. Public Comments: None. Next meeting: September 18th 2008 at 19:00. It was moved to adjourn and seconded. Meeting adjourned at 20:22 Harold Alexander |
