OLD BUSINESS:
- Ririe Station Update: We are moving right along with the project, currently being held up as we are still waiting for the permit approval from the State. The State building department was able to get us the letter we need for our reply to ICRMP. Dennis advised he is wrapping up the last bit of documentation ICRMP asked to complete our reply to them, he just needs to clarify some details with Graham.
- Madison Ambulance: Madison delivered the ambulance today; we are moving forward with completing the registration and getting the decal package.
NEW BUSINESS:
- D&D Electric quote for Door Security: When we started the network upgrades, they asked about our door security. D&D provided a quote to upgrade the doors with security access for the District office and Station 1, for $22,007.80. Discussion from Commissioners and Chief, about the need to upgrade. Commissioners would like to get another quote or two to compare product and pricing. Commissioners will table this for the month and re-visit it next month.
- PowerPolicy quote: This is the second quote for updating our policies and procedures. The first was from Lexipol, however it was a bit out of the price range for us. In doing some research, PowerPolicy would make us up to date, cloud-based and accessible to all our personnel and stakeholders. Jim motions to approve moving forward with quote Q-440574, Kyle seconded and voting was unanimous by Jim, Dallin, Kyle and Wynn in the affirmative.
- Payroll Schedule: We would like to propose moving the administrative staff payroll to the first Thursday of the month. Commissioners have no problem with this; it does not
affect anything for them. Nile advised he is fine with the request and will work with the staff to make the change.
- Certificate Presentation – Firefighter I and Hazmat Course Completion: Jacob Bohman, Clark Cleverly and Ty Whitmeyer presented with their certificates. Congratulations on a job well done.
FIRE CHIEF REPORT:
- Feb 23rd, BC Bingham and I are flying to Florida for the new engine spec visit.
- March 2nd, we have the 3 new hires starting.
Other than that things are going well, nothing major to report.
– Battalion Chief input – Nothing this month.
ASSISTANT CHIEF REPORT: For January we had130 EMS calls, 56 of those were transports.
DEPUTY CHIEF REPORT: I am still working on the fire ordinance, unfortunately due to the amount of plan reviews and inspections that have come in, I had to put the ordinance on hold. I am hoping to have it to you all for review soon.
We have had 8 plan reviews come in for February already keeping us busy.
