Motion carried by a vote of 4-0
Election Carolyn reported that the notice for nomination had
been placed in The Voice. Thus far, 3 have been picked up and 2
returned. Carl Harvey will check to see if the Town has a voting booth
the District can use for the election. Jason Goodale stated that he will
appoint the necessary election judges.
Cleaning Only one bid has been received. It is from Dave Branmer in
the amount of$300 per month for weekly cleaning. Jason again told
the Board that he is willing to do the cleaning. Elmer Kitnnan, Jr. and
Carl Harvey both stated that they felt that someone needed to be hired
to do deep cleaning once a month and that Jason could then do the
weekly cleaning. Jason said he wouldn't allow the cleaning to detract
from keeping the equipment,etc.ready. Carolyn will ask Lois Deubach
if she would be interested in doing the monthly cleaning. Don Brantner
will ask Dave to give us a new bid for once-a-month cleaning.
The new computer for Jason's office and the new printer for the front
office are both in place. The old computer may be placed out in the bay
for the firemen to do their reports.
Jason was instructed to get the District on-line with AOL if a direct
withdrawal from the checking account with Wells Fargo can be
arranged.
The old vehicles behind the station have been removed. Carolyn will
send thank yous to Freeman Truck Bodies and Rob's Repair for their
assistance. Elmer Kitzman, Jr. was thanked for coordinating the
removaL
Hoses for old Lucas Tool Unnecessary at this time as the
tools from the old Lucas tool are now being utilized with the new Lucas
i
tool. The Fire Department will get their share of the cost of the tool--
$2,700 to the District in the near fixture.
Mutual Aid Don Brantner spoke with the Evans City Manager
about the computation of the amount due and whether Evans would be
agreeable to determining a set amount for each year. No decision has
been reached. It is a general concensus that Evans should be telling us
how much we owe them, not the District determining the amount. Don
Bran ner will ask the Evans City Manager to the next Board meeting on
March 20,2002.
Pumper 5 This vehicle needs major repairs which will be costly. 111¢
Jason Goodale checked with "The Fire Trader" to see what similar
equipment is selling for. It has been determined that the District won't l
be able to get the appraised price out of the vehicle. Fire Chief Dave
Eckhardt spoke again with Kell in Greeley and they are no longer
interested.
NEW BUSINESS: Vicki Hein was introduced as a possible replacement for Carolyn when
she moves to Texas in May. Vicki has been in for two or three days to
see how the books are set up and how and what needs to be done for a
Board meeting. She will let the Board know her decision before the
next meeting.
Office Hours Since nomination forms for the upcoming election
must be returned by close of business on March 1, 2002, and Jason will
be out of the office for medical tests on that date, and Carolyn can only
be in the office during the hours of 1pm to 4:30pm, it was determined
that election regulation would be followed if signs were placed on the
doors of the building announcing special office hours for March 1,
2002. Carolyn was instructed to prepare the signs and get them in place
immediately.
INSURANCE REPORT: Jason's life insurance is not yet in place.
BUILDING: Elmer Kitzman, Jr.has the bolts needed to anchor the outside staircase.
He will get it done as soon as possible.
The air conditioning is being put in and is almost completed. When
completed a final inspection by the Town will have to be done. There
are a few minor repairs to walls, etc. that will have to be done before
final payment is made.
Kitzman Electric will be giving the District an invoice for additional
electrical work and an exit sign. The invoice will be for actual cost of
parts and labor.
it
The carpet is due to be in in two weeks. Jason and James have taken
out old grouting. The insulation needs to be fixed before the carpet is
• laid.
The time delay for the bathroom fans came in but was the wrong part.
It has been sent back and the correct part reordered.

OPERATIONS REPORT: Jason Goodalewould hie the Department and District to look into the
possibility of curing in the old AED and getting two new fully automatic
ones.
The canvas hydrant bags are in and are set up with tools,etc.needed for
inspection and/or repair.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Department President Arlyn Litfin invited everyone to the annual
Department Banquet. He asked if the District would be helping defray
the costs as they have in the past. Motion was made by Elmer Kitzman,
Jr. and seconded by Robbin Peppier that the District contribute $1,000
to the Department for the banquet Motion passed by a vote of 4-0.

stored or sold in the building.

meeting.
CHIEF'S REPORT: Dave Eckhardt asked that the no liquor policy be put in writing by the
District. Don Branner stated the policy as follows:
Liquor can't be stored or sold in the building. Liquor would
be allowed to be served at functions sanctioned by the District, ie the
annual Department Banquet
It was proposed that the cell phones in all of the vehicles be changed to
NEXTEL as that is what most of the firemen carry personally. Six
phones would be needed—one for Jason and 5 for the trucks. Carl
Harvey asked that the Department put in a proposal as to what program
they would like. Dave will get bids from a couple of companies to be
presented at the next meeting.
The tanker has structural problems. The 5000 gallon tank the
Department now has is too heavy and is difficult to handle on some
roads. The Department would like to see it replaced with a 3000 gallon
tanker. The cost would be $58,000 to $65,000. The Board requested
that Dave gather additional information as to availability and cost and
present it at the next meeting.
ty The Incentive Program and Mission Statement suggested by the Board
at its January meeting will be discussed at the next Department meeing.
Meeting adjourned at approximately 9:40pm.
