00:01:59,760 --> 00:03:54,750
Mhm.

2
00:03:54,760 --> 00:05:07,030
» Mhm.

3
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,680
» I think that's an important thing to

4
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000
build on and reach out to the people of

5
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,400
the community and see who wants to be a

6
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,720
part of that, but also utilizing the

7
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,760
college that's next door with these

8
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,480
young people who are looking for

9
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,360
opportunities in the fire service,

10
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,720
housing, education, and you know,

11
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,840
growing that as a process. Again, all of

12
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,400
these things are great important things

13
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,240
that are going to happen quickly, but

14
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,560
they are things that I am fortunate to

15
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,120
have navigated

16
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,919
um with many people.

17
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:40,840
Uh grant funding is available. Um so,

18
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,880
those are other things to be a a primary

19
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,120
focus of mine is to obtain funding that

20
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,120
supports itself instead of the city

21
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,240
you know, taking on the burden because

22
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,480
the fire service isn't cheap. Uh our

23
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,160
bunker gear is $5 to $10,000 to outfit

24
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,680
10 people.

25
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,880
Um and that's with up-to-date, you know,

26
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,280
not not hand-me-downs because legally we

27
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,160
can't do that anymore. So, it's it's a

28
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,080
lot of work is what I see and I'm

29
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,040
willing to put in that work. Um

30
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,280
which I think is something that has been

31
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,240
missing for a little while.

32
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,120
Um so, yeah. I have experience. Um

33
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,600
I've written one grant in my life and

34
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,480
got it. So, I definitely need to grow in

35
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,600
that area, but I have experience with it

36
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,000
and building programs. So, I feel like

37
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,400
that's another avenue that I have and

38
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,520
the fact that I already have a

39
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,919
connection with the college down here in

40
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:36,640
order to get me there. Oh, it's a real

41
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120
fire. Um

42
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,720
Sorry, we're doing the callback right

43
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,440
now.

44
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,190
>> Beep.

45
00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:42,200
» Beep.

46
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,150
>> That's okay. Are you Are you okay?

47
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:44,160
» That's okay. Are you Are you okay?

48
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,110
>> Oh, yeah, but I could go in I could go

49
00:06:46,110 --> 00:06:46,120
» Oh, yeah, but I could go in I could go

50
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,360
into work and

51
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,720
light more fires. So, as we know there's

52
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,280
a lot of fire in this community. Well,

53
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:54,480
luckily not in Cosmopolis. Let's keep it

54
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,840
out of Cosy, but in Aberdeen we seem to

55
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:58,440
light everything on fire or somebody

56
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,560
does.

57
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,990
>> All right.

58
00:07:00,990 --> 00:07:01,000
» All right.

59
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,320
And so, is there a motion to confirm the

60
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,080
appointment of Casey Joe

61
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:07,840
Mitch

62
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:08,510
>> Maccabee.

63
00:07:08,510 --> 00:07:08,520
» Maccabee.

64
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,909
>> Maccabee

65
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:09,919
» Maccabee

66

as fire chief of the city of Cosmopolis.

67
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,670
>> So moved.

68
00:07:14,670 --> 00:07:14,680
» So moved.

69
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,190
>> Is there a second?

70
00:07:17,190 --> 00:07:17,200
» Is there a second?

71
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,830
>> I second.

72
00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:18,840
» I second.

73
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,310
>> Councilman Skelton seconds.

74
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:20,320
» Councilman Skelton seconds.

75
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,909
>> Okay. Um is there a discussion?

76
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:23,919
» Okay. Um is there a discussion?

77
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:26,350

» I'm curious about you um I appreciate

79

your career.

81
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,000
Your volunteer time in Hoquiam

you know,

83
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,360
put you in pretty good light as far as,

84
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,720
you know, being here. So, I appreciate

85
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,800

» In Grant. Okay.

» So

94
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,360
I definitely understand the distance

95
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400
but putting time in is not something

96
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:52,915
that

97
00:07:52,915 --> 00:07:53,030

» Yeah.

103
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,670
>> Um

104
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:55,680
» Um

105
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,640
so

106
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,680
I commute already.

107
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,230
>> Sure.

108
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:58,240

111
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,560

114
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,360
I like the idea of using the college and

115
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,560
working on a residency program. And

116
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,040
you'd mentioned uh

117
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,200
you know

118
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,320
going to get back and rebuilding the

119
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,560
the culture.

120
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,280
And I I think that's important. Um

121
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,390
so

122
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,280
that's all I have.

123
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,950
>> Any other discussion at this time?

124
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:26,960

» Um I I will say that I was um

127
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,880
part of the group that did sit and went

128
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,800
over her qualifications and her resume

129
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,880
and had the discussion

130
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,479
here earlier in the week and was very

131
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:45,960
impressed with the your vision for what

132
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,920
we could be

133
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,720
with the right direction. And and the

134
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,200
processes is that you have an idea of

135
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,120
putting in uh

136
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,600
I went home feeling that there is hope

137
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,839
for us in maintaining or continuing our

138
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:03,920
program here and and uh

139
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,160
um

140
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,640
making it a viable group. It has fell on

141
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,040
hard times. It has a couple of times.

142
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,839
And right now we really do need a shot

143
00:09:12,839 --> 00:09:15,360
in the arm and I think you come in as a

144
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,839
paramedic willing to give shots. So it's

145
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:19,160
a great idea.

146
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Um for me.

147
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,710
>> Yeah, I'm a member of that. I was there

148
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:22,720
» Yeah, I'm a member of that. I was there

149
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,800
and it was an extensive interview and it

150
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,480
was very informative and you're highly

151
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,680
qualified for the job and look forward

152
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:31,880
to seeing

153
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,880
the change in Cottage Grove Fire

154
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,640
Department. Yes, desperately needed.

155
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,440
Thank you. Any other?

156
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,470

would you provide advanced life support

160
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,320
here?

161
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,150
>> We cannot. Um the agency is only BLS.

162
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:52,160
» We cannot. Um the agency is only BLS.

163
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,360
So, you can't you can't go over your

164
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,080
agency opportunity. Now, if Aberdeen

165
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,640
fire shows up and on scene, I can be a

166
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,320
paramedic because the equipment's

167
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,240
available, but as a responder in Cosy, I

168
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,310
can only be BLS.

169
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,200
» And

170
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,920
and I've I've got one more comment to

171
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,080
make is that she did

172
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,560
explain and we talked that that she'll

173
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,680
come in as a fire chief administrator.

174
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,880
Probably not respond to every call. It

175
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,600
would be really hard for her to be able

176
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,160
to to to do that in the fight, but as

177
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,600
far as operations of the fire station,

178
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,400
I think we'd be in good hands just in

179
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,270
this direction.

180
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,080
» Okay.

181
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,880

182
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,839
seeing no further discussion, all those

183
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:43,520
