OLD BUSINESS

Grants and Projects: We have not heard anything on the grants we applied for.

Firewise: None.

Elections: Sherry reported that she had put the Notice of Election in the Fort Collins Coloradoan, but missed the deadline for the North Forth News. There is a problem with the billing from the Coloradoan. The bill was addressed to the Water and Sewer Association. Sherry notified them of the mistake. She received the Self Nominations from Ray Williams, Sherry Alexander, and Harold Alexander. Self Nominations close on Feb. 29th and if an election is not needed then it can be cancelled on March 3rd. Members can then be appointed after that.

Miscellaneous:The VFIS insurance rep could not make it to our meeting tonight so he sent copies of the proposal for us to look at and he will come to our meeting in April.

The breathing air compressor installation has been finished and Harold will give a demo after the meeting.


NEW BUSINESS

We discussed a meeting that Harold and Ken had with the new manager at Beaver Meadows. He said that they are going to purchase an AED to be available over there. He wanted to know what kind to purchase to stay in-line with what we already have. We explained that they should contact Red Feather for a recommendation. We then explained our relationship with them. After some discussion he stated that he would like for us to hold some training over there so their employees will know what to expect in case of an emergency there.

May 25th is the Auxiliary Barn Sale. The Auxiliary would like to store items in the East Garage prior to the sale. We will need to have it cleaned up prior to that date.

Mary will be out of town for the next board meeting so the pension board meeting will be postponed until April 24th. The regular board meeting will be on March 20, at 19:00.


Public Comments: Ken May stated that he is doing inspections for controlled burns and would like to use Squad 1 for this purpose. That was approved.

Next meeting: March 20th at 19:00.

It was moved to adjourn and seconded. Meeting adjourned at 19:27.

Harold Alexander
Secretary
