NEW BUSINESS

Mary: The joint association boards would like to meet with the fire board to see if we would like to help pay for the sirens they are having installed. The meeting is October 20 at 10:00am.

Sherry: Started a discussion to see if we wanted to start working on a system to track structures, people with special need access, etc. We are to bring ideas to the next meeting and we will start working on a system to accomplish this. She also announced that she and Harold are signed up for the DEO class on OCTOBER 30th in Colorado Springs.

Harold: Requested that the district pay for the wildland equipment that Ken and Harold had purchased themselves. It was agreed that the district would do this as soon as a bill was presented. He asked that the district purchase a LCD projector with the training money. The board agreed that we should purchase this. Harold will purchase a projector and put it on the district credit card. The last item was to request that we check on purchasing the software and hardware to reprogram our pagers to receive Crystal Lakes pages only. Joan said that she would check into it. After some discussion it was decided that reprogramming was a good idea but we need to get both Crystal Lakes pages and Red Feathers pages as well. She will also check on having them reprogrammed to get Crystal and Red FeatherŐs pages. Mary sent a letter to Johnstown requesting that their old air pack system be donated to Crystal Lakes. Their board meeting was last week but I have not heard yet. I will check this weekend.

There was some discussion about the upcoming board election. Ray and Joan's positions are up for election. Ray has indicated that he will run for his position and Joan has indicated that she will retire.
