OLD BUSINESS

Update on New Tender: The Tender was supposed to be picked up today but there is a problem with the computer software that controls the front mount monitor nozzle. It should be ready by next week at this time.

Mary has all of the paperwork on the tender and its financing and is working through it.

Sirens: After a lengthy discussion about the siren system the board voted to support the installation of the system by paying 1/3 of the cost. We will start setting money aside for this project. The vote stated that the fire district's support is nonbinding.

Firewise: The name changes for the roads within our district are in process and should be completed by Dec 5th. With the exception of one road that is being appealed. Creedmore Lakes road is now 73C and goes all the way to Prairie Divide road which is now 67J.

NEW BUSINESS
