Minutes approved September 3, 2009.
The meeting was called to order by Chief Ken May at 6:35 pm. Marian
Kelly passed out washers and blaze orange tape to tie on washers for
markers while the meeting progressed.
Kate Kelly read the minutes of the previous meeting which were approved
as read and corrected in a motion made by Ray Williams and seconded by
Herb Cooper. Motion passed.
OFFICERS' MEETING: No Officers' Meeting was held as there were only 3 officers present.
PERSONNEL: Ken noted the need for new department pictures, both firefighters and
auxiliary in groups as well as individual pictures. It was decided that
the pictures would be taken at the September business meeting. All
members should bring their blue department jackets and firefighters
should bring their structure gear. Kurt Livingston will bring his
cameras and tripod to take the pictures. Jane Tiffin will notify Lyle
and Helen Koller about the pictures. One of the blue trucks will be
used as a backdrop and if necessary the truck flood lights can be used
to ensure proper lighting.
EQUIPMENT: Ken May noted that at the last incident a cell phone was needed and not
available. Herb Cooper asked that a debriefing on the last call be
held. Ken conducted the debriefing. It was noted that fogging a leaking
propane tank was a good idea. Again we were reminded to designate an
IC. It was noted that Schrader Propane Co. would respond to any propane
incident.
Kate Kelly moved and Sharon Cooper seconded the motion to buy 2 cell
phones and put them in trucks for future use. Concerns were expressed
about the cost and usability of these phones. The motion failed by a
vote of 9 to 4. Ray Williams volunteered to research cost and usability
of cell phones in our area and report at the next meeting.
Marian Kelly handed out head lamps to anyone needing such. There are
extras available for future use.
Ken May handed out maps of Beaver Meadows to all responding Auxiliary
and will place them in the trucks. Ray Williams has a better map of
Beaver Meadows and will have copies made. It was noted that Don
Wexielman agreed to mow the LZ area for CLVFD.
Marian handed out lists
of Lone Pine Rental cabins with addresses.
Ken May reported that the 3
trucks have been sold, money received and 2 already removed to Ft
Collins Speedway.
TRAINING:
No schedule for the next 6 months is ready but the next training will
be on Engine 2. First responder training will be conducted by MedEvac
in the near future. Ken May will obtain a schedule. The training will
be held in CL.
SAFETY: Marian reported for Jody, who was absent. Jim Tiffin sent Jody a list
of identifying characteristics of a stroke. This was handed out to all
members present. The characteristics are remembered by STR: S is the
ability to smile; T is the ability to talk; R is the ability to raise
arms; and a final one is the ability to stick out the tongue in a
straight line.
AUXILIARY:
Kate Kelly reported that the 4th of July celebration was a success and
many thanks to those who volunteered. Replacing water balloons with
water balls worked and water balls have been purchased. The pictures
with the trucks and rides in the trucks also were well received. Thanks
to Kurt Livingston and Barbara for taking and sending pictures. It was
noted that judges for the parade need to be recruited early.
MISCELLANEOUS: Marian Kelly requested that
corrections and suggestions to improve the Bylaws be written out and
submitted by August 20th. The committee will then meet and discuss them
and report to the next business meeting.
Ray Williams requested everyone attend the next CLVFD Board Meeting as
Ray Sandoval of the Community Affairs Department and the attorney for
RFLVFD would be present. This discussion pertains to bylaws.
The trailer that was abandoned at the fire station has been removed. Joe Serna removed it.
Kate and Marian will give the Tiffins and Coopers the small megaphones
to be used for traffic control following the meeting. Larger ones will
be purchased for the trucks.
Ray Williams reported that Ed Miller is okay after a heart problem and
that the Mountain Productions paid for the US flags for shirts and
jackets.

Respectfully submitted,
Kate Kelly, Secretary
