1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:13,000
So we are in an interesting predicament where we do not have a chair or a vice chair right now. So I'm going to kindly ask somebody,

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Lorraine would you like to conduct until we get to that point? Somebody has to.

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:30,290
All right well then let's call the movie to order and let's begin with the prayer and

4
00:00:30,290 --> 00:00:35,170
if I got somebody who would like to do the prayer, don't do it. Okay and then we'll do

5
00:00:35,170 --> 00:00:37,710
much of the legions and maybe we'll follow and do that.

6
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:38,870
Family

7
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:48,260
Father, we are thankful that we can gather here this evening for the fire commission meeting.

8
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:55,180
We do ask that you bless this new board, give us wisdom, insight as we work through the fire department.

9
00:00:55,700 --> 00:01:07,380
Also ask that you would bless our firefighters of command staff, help us all to make wise and prudent decisions that benefits all the residents

10
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:10,500
and gifts within the Hertz and Valley Fire District.

11
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,640
He's purged up in Jesus' name.

12
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,640
Name it in the name of Jesus Christ, huh?

13
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:21,680
Where are these?

14
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:22,220
Gold.

15
00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:27,220
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

16
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:30,280
and to the Republic for which it stands,

17
00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:36,300
one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

18
00:01:37,820 --> 00:01:38,420
Thank

19
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:41,270
you.

20
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:48,370
So I think we can't do any business until we move it down to D and number one.

21
00:01:48,790 --> 00:01:53,810
Yeah, so I would just say just move B down and after you guys have to discuss and vote for

22
00:01:53,810 --> 00:01:56,110
Chair and Vice Chair, we can go right back to doing the consent.

23
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:59,770
We need to make a motion to change the agenda and move to that one.

24
00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:00,390
Yeah.

25
00:02:01,610 --> 00:02:09,770
I'll move to a lot of funny agenda as stated moving item B below D1 and beginning with the vote on Chair and Vice Chair.

26
00:02:17,390 --> 00:02:20,590
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

27
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,100
Okay. Okay. Okay. So, who's, Joe, are you going to run the election?

28
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:37,120
You want me to run the election? Okay. So, this is fairly simple in our by-laws. It's, um, anybody can

29
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,600
be the chair and vice chair it just takes a motion and the vote of the board to move

30
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,220
those positions.

31
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,340
You can do them as one vote or you can do them individually.

32
00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:50,780
So is there anybody that is just dying to be the chair?

33
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:57,520
I will tell you that I did have some discussions with Lorine and she's willing to do it at

34
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,280
the chair but we don't know about vice chair.

35
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:03,980
So who's going to get railroaded?

36
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:07,510
Anybody?

37
00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:10,990
I will nominate Lorraine to be the chair.

38
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,360
I'm happy to serve in the vice chair.

39
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:15,920
I don't know.

40
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,740
I've got to have more green.

41
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:25,330
Sounds like some way just needs to make a motion.

42
00:03:25,610 --> 00:03:28,190
I will nominate to be the vice chair.

43
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:35,770
And I will make a motion that we elect our chair and vice chair by acclimation.

44
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:36,570
Okay.

45
00:03:38,830 --> 00:03:39,530
Second that.

46
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:45,350
And Lorraine, since you're acting,

47
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:49,790
Until this is done. What do you call for a vote all right? Let's call for a vote

48
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:53,580
We'll start on that end and please state your name

49
00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:55,070
I

50
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:03,490
Waiting for tonight

51
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:10,150
Okay, anybody got a train sound

52
00:04:17,210 --> 00:04:24,530
okay so with that we can move back up to the contingent. Okay so I guess the

53
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:30,090
first thing we need to do then on the consent agenda is declaration of conflict

54
00:04:30,090 --> 00:04:45,330
of interest and if we start down with Randy and come down with I'm going to

55
00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:46,330
and no conflict.

56
00:04:46,770 --> 00:04:46,930
Wait.

57
00:04:47,190 --> 00:04:48,090
Here's a no conflict.

58
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:50,230
And the reencock's no conflict.

59
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:50,870
Okay.

60
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:54,010
The next three you can take all as one vote if there's no questions.

61
00:04:54,530 --> 00:04:59,610
So I would entertain a motion for approval of consent agenda.

62
00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:04,130
I move for approval of consent agenda.

63
00:05:04,650 --> 00:05:07,770
The remaining items are to the agenda that's modified.

64
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:14,610
Approval the minutes December 1st, 25th December 15th, 25th.

65
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:21,010
and review the tax and deposits on December 20, 25 January, 20, 26, and 5.

66
00:05:23,230 --> 00:05:23,910
Thank you.

67
00:05:25,730 --> 00:05:26,430
Thank you.

68
00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:28,330
We've got a motion in a second.

69
00:05:29,230 --> 00:05:32,570
We'll do a vote beginning again with Randy.

70
00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:33,810
Randy, come on.

71
00:05:35,290 --> 00:05:36,330
Paul, will we on?

72
00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:37,810
Scott, I call I.

73
00:05:38,530 --> 00:05:39,070
Scott's and I.

74
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:40,270
Wayne Feeder's and I.

75
00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:48,650
Marine Cox eye. Okay see that that passes on the consent gender we're moving right

76
00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:57,910
along. Okay do we have I don't have any comments so unless anybody wants to make

77
00:05:57,910 --> 00:06:07,410
comment then we'll move on. Okay see you then we'll move forward with that. So we've

78
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:13,790
already done business number one. Looks like we have open office for

79
00:06:14,490 --> 00:06:15,290
to Italian.

80
00:06:18,250 --> 00:06:20,890
So well, I get to do this one. So this is the fun part of the job

81
00:06:20,890 --> 00:06:23,630
right. We always try to do it the first so people don't have to hang at the

82
00:06:23,630 --> 00:06:26,850
whole meeting. So we got the Italian Chief Dave Harmon which is sitting to my

83
00:06:26,850 --> 00:06:33,010
right. Dave came to us in October of last year he runs our wild land

84
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:39,650
division. He's been a great asset to us. He's helped us get our couple of good

85
00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:51,130
programs going. He brings 29 years and expertise in the wildland world and I know

86
00:06:51,130 --> 00:06:55,990
he's worked with a couple of you already with Springdale and Mayor Peterson. I

87
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:59,750
know he's worked with you a little bit and he is available to help with anything

88
00:06:59,750 --> 00:07:06,470
While unrelated in any of your communities so on that and on that mode should we go swear at you you back

89
00:07:16,450 --> 00:07:18,130
You're gonna be of the pinning

90
00:08:00,090 --> 00:08:01,870
I gave it hard with my David Armin.

91
00:08:02,350 --> 00:08:05,070
Do solemnly swear, do solemnly swear that I will support.

92
00:08:05,570 --> 00:08:09,630
And I will support, but they defend, they defend the Constitution of the United States.

93
00:08:09,970 --> 00:08:11,330
The Constitution of the United States.

94
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:14,670
The Constitution of the State of Utah, and the Constitution of the State of Utah,

95
00:08:14,910 --> 00:08:17,550
and that I will discharge the duties of my office with the delities.

96
00:08:17,850 --> 00:08:20,790
And that I will discharge the duties of my office with the delities.

97
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:23,230
So that's where it's going to go.

98
00:08:23,230 --> 00:08:24,310
Let me start the floor.

99
00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:10,270
You can step back and do it, okay, take my shoes and thank you for what you've done.

100
00:09:25,550 --> 00:09:25,970
Okay,

101
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,660
we're on a deadline today.

102
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,380
Get

103
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,540
all the good shoes you want in.

104
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:42,600
Okay.

105
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:43,940
All right.

106
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:44,680
Next slide.

107
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,680
We are now on to the board meeting schedule.

108
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,760
We have already seen issues with my schedule.

109
00:09:55,540 --> 00:09:55,860
Okay.

110
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,820
So all we did is we took the schedule of we normally do, which is always the first Monday of the month,

111
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,000
and carried them.

112
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:02,980
We need to change anything.

113
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:03,920
We can sure do that.

114
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,820
And the other is there's discussion.

115
00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:12,120
we had our board meetings at 6, we had them at 4, this 4, what time works better for everybody,

116
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,560
is there a better day in the month that works for everybody? What can we do to accommodate?

117
00:10:19,330 --> 00:10:29,510
So I want to know, if Monday's actually the only day possible for our family to get used to it.

118
00:10:29,510 --> 00:10:31,010
Later in the week's better for me.

119
00:10:33,790 --> 00:10:38,950
What nights is everybody's city and town councils Wednesdays?

120
00:10:38,950 --> 00:10:42,710
Thursday and I know you're Thursdays right?

121
00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:48,390
What about Tuesdays?

122
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:57,430
What if we did

123
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:09,460
All you've got I forgot yeah you got do you have stuff on Tuesday?

124
00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:24,080
every Tuesday about Thursday's yeah if we did it what time do you guys start. Second third day is

125
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:40,940
council meeting that's what second third day work. How does that work does that work for

126
00:11:41,860 --> 00:11:43,460
And when did they begin?

127
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,240
4.

128
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,280
4.

129
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:47,760
How about 4 first days?

130
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,760
How long are those meetings?

131
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:59,040
Hopefully we're out of there by 5, so we get back in 6.

132
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,900
My preference is 6 for the public.

133
00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:04,040
I know that's not.

134
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:06,220
Everybody's else's preference.

135
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,860
Not like they're complicated to public.

136
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:08,480
Should they be?

137
00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:12,020
I'm okay with 6.

138
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,220
So that was second Thursday, right? Second Thursday at six o'clock?

139
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,360
Or they're saying so six o'clock.

140
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,140
Wait, wait, second is your...

141
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:25,460
No, no.

142
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,180
First or third is mine.

143
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:27,680
Okay.

144
00:12:27,940 --> 00:12:29,400
Second is the skeeto board, right?

145
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,340
Yeah, but we'll make it at six.

146
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,460
That'll be fine.

147
00:12:32,740 --> 00:12:33,640
That's good.

148
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:34,080
That's good.

149
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,720
Does that work for everybody?

150
00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:39,660
Second Thursday at six o'clock.

151
00:12:39,660 --> 00:12:43,380
Yeah, that work for you

152
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:48,260
Okay, here. Yes

153
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:55,460
I will create a new calendar and get it out to you guys. We don't have to vote on that. It's just one that has to be published

154
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:56,420
so

155
00:12:57,900 --> 00:13:04,460
And I've got a good vice president. So when I'm going in April and and

156
00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:11,620
And I'm going to have another day and take a little night.

157
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:11,940
OK.

158
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:12,920
All right.

159
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:13,840
Oh, me.

160
00:13:14,420 --> 00:13:18,420
I've got schoolwork stuff in April.

161
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,120
And then I'm going to Nairobi on June 1st, so.

162
00:13:25,210 --> 00:13:25,640
All right.

163
00:13:26,780 --> 00:13:27,640
See that?

164
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:31,540
Then we are going to do the 2nd, 3rd day.

165
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:33,460
6 p.m.

166
00:13:33,460 --> 00:13:41,880
every month at 6 p.m. and then something comes up and we need to change it and we don't have to do that.

167
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,240
Okay, now public and open meeting training, are we going to do that tonight?

168
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:55,000
So the million dollar question is I know you all have to do this annually with your downs and your cities.

169
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Have you guys done them already? Can you get me copies of proof that you guys did them?

170
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:00,740
Yes.

171
00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:03,180
If you can do that, then we do not have to do this tonight.

172
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:08,240
The special service district training is the email that I sent out.

173
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:11,040
I've got some of you have sent me that back already.

174
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,180
If you could get that to me at your convenience, that would be great.

175
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,000
See, there, we just skipped over.

176
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,960
Did a whole other subject?

177
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,040
Two separate trainings.

178
00:14:21,420 --> 00:14:21,580
Two separate trainings.

179
00:14:21,580 --> 00:14:21,620
Yeah.

180
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:22,480
Yeah.

181
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,280
Okay.

182
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:33,040
Okay, discussion, our next one is discussion about ordering two engines, which will be two

183
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,220
Yes, I'll take this one.

184
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,100
So this is really similar to what we did about a year ago.

185
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:46,540
We're still trying to play catch up with our apparatus and I'll let chief early and chief

186
00:14:46,540 --> 00:14:47,420
right, chief Nick.

187
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,420
Jump in on this one also.

188
00:14:50,420 --> 00:14:56,600
So we'll know it's price fire engines are going up, the build times stretched out so we're

189
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,880
three years still on build time for these trucks.

190
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:22,160
We have some in the queue right now, but we're still two and a half years out on those. Part of this is the replacement of our engine and leverican, which is how cool it was built in 2007. Yeah, so it's almost 20 and then our engine in Springdale, which is a 2002.

191
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:29,620
You know, the average lifespan of a fire engine is a front lines 15 years and then it kind

192
00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:31,520
of goes into reserve status after that.

193
00:15:32,340 --> 00:15:39,900
We are terribly behind on our equipment replacement, which we've been off a big chunk last year,

194
00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:44,920
which we can get into for those who are here who know that we have six ambulances on order.

195
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:51,200
We have another fire engine and another aerial ladder on order.

196
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,320
we have two type 6 brush trucks which are like the pickup size, F550s, and then

197
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:03,220
we have three type 1 type 3 brush trucks. There are a wild and urban interface

198
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:10,560
truck. We're close to Cal Fire Respect 34s that are on order also. So that kind

199
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,800
of gets us back up. These last two engines will actually put us in the queue and

200
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,260
and replace Leverkan's and Springdale's to the point

201
00:16:19,260 --> 00:16:24,580
we're kind of back getting ahead of our equipment.

202
00:16:25,460 --> 00:16:28,480
So any questions I can answer for you guys.

203
00:16:28,940 --> 00:16:29,640
I got a question.

204
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,840
Some of the say somebody around the New Year's Eve

205
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,480
truck basically thinks it out of service.

206
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,880
You do have some that come back.

207
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,580
You have one reserve right now.

208
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,480
So it is scary, right?

209
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:53,180
and some of our equipment are our truck that's in leads is a 2005 2004 and it's

210
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:59,720
just everything the district has been in the last few years has been trying to

211
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,020
play catch-up and you'll see that more as we get into tonight's discussions about

212
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:08,200
everything that we've been doing the good thing about this is we we sign on the

213
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,820
documents just like last time we don't pay for the trucks till they show up but it

214
00:17:11,820 --> 00:17:14,860
locks the price in on them, where we don't have any price increases.

215
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:24,880
How does that relate with homeowners like insurance?

216
00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:30,380
So is there different insurance zones and is that based off of the curve we have?

217
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,940
It all ties together into one big conglomeration.

218
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:40,020
So pump capacity is huge on your ISO rating, which ties to your homeowners insurance.

219
00:17:41,180 --> 00:17:48,280
And they basically when they come in and they do the inspection, the whole overview of

220
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:55,740
the district, they look at large building, spread outs of your stations, how many frontline

221
00:17:55,740 --> 00:18:00,780
engines you have, what is your pump capacity of those, calculate how big the building is,

222
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,870
what per square footage, and how much gallons per minute you need to put that fire out and

223
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:06,730
and they take that tie it to all your trucks,

224
00:18:07,450 --> 00:18:11,130
which helps either increase or lower your rates.

225
00:18:11,910 --> 00:18:14,010
Our ISO inspection last year we got,

226
00:18:14,290 --> 00:18:17,130
we happily went from a six to a four.

227
00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:19,730
I think we can easily get to a two,

228
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:22,730
but one of the big things that they found on us,

229
00:18:22,730 --> 00:18:24,810
which is pushed us in the stations also,

230
00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:26,310
is we're five stations short,

231
00:18:26,690 --> 00:18:30,010
and we're about 8,000 GPM low on what we need to be.

232
00:18:31,350 --> 00:18:36,730
So, this, we're working towards fixing all of that in all of these, all these discussions.

233
00:18:37,310 --> 00:18:40,630
So, is that already personnel also?

234
00:18:40,890 --> 00:18:41,130
Yes.

235
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:45,030
Yes, it is deployment of personnel also, and that's where the five stations come in.

236
00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:48,670
Because they look at distance on everything, your response times.

237
00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:51,350
How many people you actually have on an active incident?

238
00:18:52,050 --> 00:18:57,630
You know, NFPA 1710 says you need 15 people for an initial structure fire attack.

239
00:18:57,630 --> 00:19:07,730
We have how many on shift 20 but that includes Springdale which Springdale's 30

240
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:16,610
minutes away so we barely meet one initial attack on a fire and so I'm not

241
00:19:16,610 --> 00:19:24,550
looking at you but we're making good progress from where we were so do you have

242
00:19:24,550 --> 00:19:29,870
any kind of an idea, and maybe this is a very difficult question to have, but for the average

243
00:19:29,870 --> 00:19:36,930
one more, what does it change from like a six to a five or even, as you discussed, from

244
00:19:36,930 --> 00:19:44,530
a, what currently in a four or a two? What does that mean to the finances of the, it's really

245
00:19:44,530 --> 00:19:49,610
hard, every insurance company's different, right? So it's really, really hard to say that.

246
00:19:49,610 --> 00:19:55,730
I know in commercial base, for every number you drop, because one is best 10 is worst.

247
00:19:56,610 --> 00:20:03,590
Every number you drop to you get to about 4 is about a 10% change in your insurance policy.

248
00:20:04,050 --> 00:20:12,410
When you go from 4 to 3, 3 to 2, 2 to 1, it drastically impacts it even more, but every insurance

249
00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:13,030
company is different.

250
00:20:13,030 --> 00:20:19,090
For some I've seen the big players and I'm not going to call out any of them but some

251
00:20:19,090 --> 00:20:25,870
of them are, you know, 5% some are 30% and now they're also throwing the brush mapping

252
00:20:25,870 --> 00:20:30,410
all your woolly stuff on top of that in their calculations, which is where this guy comes

253
00:20:30,410 --> 00:20:30,590
in.

254
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:42,950
So, but yeah, I can guarantee you that for every time we drop a point, it is, it ends

255
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:50,590
up being way more of a savings than what the cost to, you know, property tax does to

256
00:20:50,590 --> 00:20:59,970
us. So for our individual. Okay. And the paper be the rigs. This is to sell the general

257
00:20:59,970 --> 00:21:05,050
fund. This would be what it would come out of our capital project fund. Yeah. So.

258
00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:09,950
Any other

259
00:21:09,950 --> 00:21:12,770
Any other questions? We covered it?

260
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,720
A full motion?

261
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,380
Seeing none?

262
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:19,300
It's a discussion item.

263
00:21:19,460 --> 00:21:20,260
Oh, it's a discussion item.

264
00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:22,800
So, we can vote on it.

265
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:24,180
Oh, and a vote.

266
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:25,140
It says it right there.

267
00:21:25,580 --> 00:21:25,800
Okay.

268
00:21:26,820 --> 00:21:27,140
Okay.

269
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,720
I'll make a motion to approve.

270
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:32,440
We're working on two different things.

271
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,200
Okay.

272
00:21:34,580 --> 00:21:35,280
We have a motion.

273
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:36,200
A second.

274
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,100
A second.

275
00:21:38,260 --> 00:21:39,800
Let's start with brand again.

276
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,560
Sorry, Randy.

277
00:21:40,780 --> 00:21:41,500
Randy is on it.

278
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:42,680
Well, he's meant that.

279
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,200
Paul, are we on?

280
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,280
Scott, echo.

281
00:21:45,540 --> 00:21:45,660
Hi.

282
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:47,300
David, are we on?

283
00:21:47,660 --> 00:21:48,280
Scott, Sam.

284
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:48,620
Yes.

285
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:50,240
Where's Peter tonight?

286
00:21:51,020 --> 00:21:51,940
Three in Hawks, aye.

287
00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:53,980
Okay.

288
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:57,660
Three in Hawks.

289
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,540
That means eight times while I'm used to having to do something first.

290
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,480
That's good.

291
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,340
That's good.

292
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,560
That's good.

293
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,260
And I know that you've been working on that thing.

294
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,160
I was pushing, I was kind of getting there and couldn't get that wet.

295
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,600
You're good, you're good.

296
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,780
Let's do the update on the station 41.

297
00:22:22,220 --> 00:22:24,560
So, this is in kind of your packet.

298
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,240
We've got some bigger renderings here, from what's it.

299
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,600
So, everybody that's new, as part of like we're just kind of piggyback.

300
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,560
Seems like all of our conversations that are just going to continue to keep

301
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,800
piggybacking on each other.

302
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:43,260
Discovering how short we were on stations and the placements, we last year started the

303
00:22:43,260 --> 00:22:48,280
project of design and going into the build of the new admin station, which should be

304
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:55,380
station 41, we're finalizing the property out by this is just on the entrance to San

305
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:59,540
Hollow, right, on the north side by the guard check.

306
00:23:00,020 --> 00:23:03,160
We have four acres right there that we've been working with, the water district to get.

307
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,700
And this would be that station that is placed there.

308
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,120
So this is kind of where we're at in schematic and plans.

309
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:14,540
We're moving into engineering plan right now.

310
00:23:15,180 --> 00:23:21,180
Hopefully we'll be able to go out to bid probably close somewhere in June.

311
00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:22,660
What we're looking at.

312
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,520
Our goal is to have a shovel in the ground by July or early August this year

313
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,360
and we're 18 month construction time.

314
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:36,280
What this station will do is it takes every kind of annexed area that we have all of our

315
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:44,040
admin staff, put them all in one spot, and it opens a new company out in the southern

316
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,440
part of our district.

317
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,560
We've been very thoughtful and thorough with our architects, we're super happy with them.

318
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:59,180
The idea with this particular station is, as we move from the admin station, we move to

319
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:02,820
the next station in the queue, which is in lead.

320
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,640
It's out to Silvery, is that what it's called, still?

321
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,340
Silvery Cliffs, sorry, subdivision.

322
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,380
We're moving to what would be a neighborhood design,

323
00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:18,640
which is basically we're gonna take this station,

324
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,360
shave one bay off of it,

325
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,140
shave the all admin side off of it,

326
00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:27,180
and then that station will plug in all the future spots.

327
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,260
So we're looking at

328
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:36,360
Leagues in that area then we look at Virgin is next, co-op, this building will not go in co-op

329
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:39,500
That'll be a whole different aspect of what we have to build for up there.

330
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,940
And then 3,000 South in Hurricane.

331
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,460
And then that'll give us a majority of the coverage that we need for our ISO ratings.

332
00:24:49,690 --> 00:24:51,410
Do we have any kind of blood?

333
00:24:52,130 --> 00:24:53,830
I don't know, we are going to stress you.

334
00:24:57,070 --> 00:24:59,910
Do I want to scare you?

335
00:25:01,630 --> 00:25:02,110
Yeah.

336
00:25:02,430 --> 00:25:07,650
So we were going at this every bit of thinking we spent a lot of time talking to St.

337
00:25:07,730 --> 00:25:09,290
George, people that have built around us.

338
00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:14,110
And we were thinking we would get it in the $4 to $450 square foot range.

339
00:25:14,790 --> 00:25:17,330
Our architecture coming back at $6.50.

340
00:25:18,490 --> 00:25:25,230
We are, I'm still hoping very true to the 400 to 450, but we're really not going to

341
00:25:25,230 --> 00:25:30,110
know that number until we get some cost estimations in and we go to bed, unfortunately.

342
00:25:31,630 --> 00:25:36,410
We're not, it's not a Taj Mahal, I can tell you we haven't put anything that's not needed

343
00:25:36,410 --> 00:25:40,510
in the building, we did, we are trying to build this for a 50 year building.

344
00:25:41,210 --> 00:25:45,090
It's got to last us for a while, we're going to spend this much money so there are a few

345
00:25:45,090 --> 00:25:50,850
extra offices in the admin area for future growth but there I can guarantee

346
00:25:50,850 --> 00:25:56,470
there is no fluff in this building so now you want to know the real scary

347
00:25:56,470 --> 00:26:06,930
part we're 30,000 square feet so we're about 18 million dollars so we're

348
00:26:06,930 --> 00:26:11,590
coming back on the building if it lands at $600 square foot

349
00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:15,070
I saw the extra office face when I looked at the plan.

350
00:26:16,650 --> 00:26:18,430
You're going to have a real bad day for it.

351
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:19,830
We're trying not to.

352
00:26:20,090 --> 00:26:21,310
We're really trying not to.

353
00:26:22,450 --> 00:26:26,910
We have battled this going back and forth and back and forth in which way to go.

354
00:26:29,490 --> 00:26:34,170
I am a firm believer that this particular plan now where we've landed it

355
00:26:34,170 --> 00:26:35,950
is going to last us a long time.

356
00:26:36,910 --> 00:26:41,750
You know, and it does give us the capability where we've looked at is, okay, if we outgrow

357
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:46,090
those offices, where in there could we split, where could we add more walls, where could

358
00:26:46,090 --> 00:26:50,390
we, where could you saw it in the end, where we've been tried to be very forward thinking

359
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:55,010
in the way that we're doing this, because trust me, you know, in 50 years, I'm not going

360
00:26:55,010 --> 00:27:05,230
to be here to deal with this, at least I hope, but yeah, you know, I think the renderings

361
00:27:05,230 --> 00:27:10,790
came out good the exterior of it looks good I'm a bit I'm super happy you guys

362
00:27:10,790 --> 00:27:14,310
got anything to add I think we're super grateful for the

363
00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:27,950
Conservancy Districts loneliness with us on the property and I just

364
00:27:30,350 --> 00:27:30,830
have a

365
00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:45,230
No, we're looking, we're actually looking at steel and not even doing CMU, it's actually

366
00:27:45,230 --> 00:27:47,470
cheaper than even block is right now.

367
00:27:48,010 --> 00:27:51,090
So yeah, that's been the topic.

368
00:27:51,210 --> 00:27:56,690
Now, depending there are some construction methods that when we go to RFP there could be

369
00:27:56,690 --> 00:28:03,050
some alternatives. Part of that might be tilt up in the bay area. It's all going to tie to

370
00:28:03,050 --> 00:28:08,630
what is going to become at this. What can we get quality at the cheapest price that meets the

371
00:28:08,630 --> 00:28:16,590
new building codes? So yes sir. This will be admin and all you command staff. This will be everything

372
00:28:16,590 --> 00:28:24,230
okay. Everything in this building. Where is this will encompass training also? Yes. So yes. So part

373
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:29,390
of that if you on the site plan that kind of rectangles in the back in the center is a training

374
00:28:29,390 --> 00:28:35,970
tower. Okay, so this will be for new recruits and ongoing training for the staff. Okay,

375
00:28:36,030 --> 00:28:45,210
yes sir. And then the rendering show ambulance and engine are there. So we're doing the idea right

376
00:28:45,210 --> 00:28:50,590
now is this station will eventually become a two ambulance company. So we'll have two buses,

377
00:28:52,930 --> 00:28:56,070
So it would be a ladder station and a heavier ski will come out of this one.

378
00:28:56,650 --> 00:29:00,650
And the reason being the rescue is going to be at this station is because of all the water

379
00:29:00,650 --> 00:29:05,550
stuff at sand hollow, everything we deal with out on the sand dunes, it's a majority where

380
00:29:05,550 --> 00:29:08,950
a lot of our technical stuff comes out of.

381
00:29:10,050 --> 00:29:13,130
And it will be a technical rescue type system.

382
00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:19,290
And it will have designated fire fighters or will they be flexed from the engine to this?

383
00:29:19,290 --> 00:29:20,710
So the idea, well,

384
00:29:23,310 --> 00:29:29,010
it's all going to defend on funding, yeah, so this particular building

385
00:29:29,010 --> 00:29:31,430
has seven bedrooms in it, plus a captain suite.

386
00:29:31,930 --> 00:29:38,370
So is the capability there to have a dedicated truck company, yes, we can, will we ever

387
00:29:38,370 --> 00:29:38,730
get there?

388
00:29:38,890 --> 00:29:39,350
I don't know.

389
00:29:40,330 --> 00:29:41,290
It's a lot of money.

390
00:29:41,650 --> 00:29:46,030
But the members will be trained up, so if you do get a compliance base or a transfer,

391
00:29:46,510 --> 00:29:50,170
they will have the search system to do that, yeah, through that thing.

392
00:29:50,170 --> 00:29:56,730
throughout the district. Yes. And the ultimate disposition of existing station 41?

393
00:29:57,070 --> 00:29:58,490
We're actually going to keep it in service.

394
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,820
There, I know previous administration, prior to me, wanted to take it out and build somewhere else in town. I look at the call volume that we're dealing with, and if I pull that out of between 43 and 42, so Leverican and Walmart, we're just going to destroy those two stations with more of a call volume. So we have reached the volume we're hitting and the spread outness of the buildings we can't afford to take it out of service. It'll actually become 45.

395
00:30:28,820 --> 00:30:32,540
is which that one will be. And then we're actually going to probably move the

396
00:30:32,540 --> 00:30:34,360
wild end creaming to that station.

397
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:41,240
And you're utilized for your, you have utilized search and rescue. I'm going to

398
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,420
zoom with the Sheriff's Office out of there. Yeah, whatever, we're a partner with

399
00:30:46,420 --> 00:30:49,340
old tomorrow agencies and whatever they need and whatever we do to help with, we're

400
00:30:49,340 --> 00:30:54,700
going to do that. Okay. Any other questions I can give you on update on that?

401
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,160
We'll

402
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:07,160
We need some procedural, procedurally things that we will have to do as we're moving into the bidding process.

403
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:13,860
One of the things is we will be creating our own MBA, well, LBA, local building authority.

404
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:20,820
Instead of going to the counties, municipal building authority that they currently have,

405
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,700
just so we're kind of growing up and moving into our own.

406
00:31:26,490 --> 00:31:35,730
We have a municipal advisor, financial advisor, is Zion's bank, so we'll be using Zion's

407
00:31:35,730 --> 00:31:41,490
bank for all of our bonding purposes, looking at different opportunities between CIB, private

408
00:31:41,490 --> 00:31:42,590
market, things like that.

409
00:31:42,790 --> 00:31:45,950
The likelihood is we're probably going to go to private market for bonding on this station

410
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:50,110
just because CIB has notoriously been running out of money.

411
00:31:50,550 --> 00:31:50,710
I

412
00:31:53,780 --> 00:31:57,780
know that it's a lot of financial mumbo-jumbo stuff that nobody likes to talk about.

413
00:31:58,540 --> 00:32:02,580
So, are you requesting a CME with five counting?

414
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,440
Is that what I'm hearing?

415
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,780
We've talked about it.

416
00:32:05,020 --> 00:32:07,120
We're still trying to decide if we're going to put in an app or not.

417
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,700
We most likely will not, because we won't get funded on it.

418
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:11,320
Okay.

419
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,900
So we'll probably just move to private bonding.

420
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:13,840
All right.

421
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,060
So, that would be like a one year or 30.

422
00:32:17,420 --> 00:32:18,840
We'll do a 30 year note on that one.

423
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:19,560
Yep.

424
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:20,520
So.

425
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,800
I'm sorry for you.

426
00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:25,500
I'm sorry.

427
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,760
Well, we'll have to go through.

428
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,200
the bonding, but we'll be okay.

429
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,240
Okay. Any other questions I can answer you on that one?

430
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,760
Right, you're up again Joe. This is like the Joe show today.

431
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Okay, so update. A lot of new faces,

432
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:54,100
so we've all kind of put our lists down and we want to kind of bring you kind of up the speed of

433
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:58,000
where we are as an organization, where we're going.

434
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,400
The couple things that I have on mine

435
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,060
and please, we're all gonna jump in

436
00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:07,140
on these conversations.

437
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:10,920
So first thing, we're working towards our website.

438
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,820
We are in the process of redesigning our website.

439
00:33:14,980 --> 00:33:17,400
We're probably about 50% of the way done with that.

440
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Part of that is the requirements now

441
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,020
that we have to do ADA accessibility on our websites.

442
00:33:24,220 --> 00:33:30,240
and hopefully we'll be rolling that out within the next probably six to eight weeks.

443
00:33:31,180 --> 00:33:34,300
That will be a lot easier and a lot more familiar.

444
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:37,840
We're making it to where people can be able to pay online,

445
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,140
submit all types of forms online so they don't have to come to the office if they don't want to.

446
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,460
So we're trying to make it very easy that way.

447
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,320
We talked about all the vehicles that we currently have on order.

448
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:56,540
you guys can help jump in on this one Nick you want to talk about that so in

449
00:33:56,540 --> 00:34:02,700
addition to the engines everybody ordered and we ordered six new amulets

450
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:09,860
there about a 28-month build-out so we started that process in May 24 sign

451
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:14,820
for went through the whole process and then I've gone through a company and

452
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:20,640
side in September and the last update that I got on that was we'll get two

453
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:26,840
ambulances in January this year, two ambulances in February, excuse me, January next year,

454
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:33,360
I apologize, February next year and then one ambulance in March and I deal with

455
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,380
those is we're gonna spend a little bit more on those and I anticipate getting

456
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:45,880
being able to re-mount those ambulances on a different chassis about three times and a lot of them are not better.

457
00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:50,920
And then so that gives us about 16 ambulances.

458
00:34:51,300 --> 00:35:00,820
We're going to decide on what happens when we phase out, probably about two of them will have to get rid of.

459
00:35:03,310 --> 00:35:11,430
Thank you so tune January 27th, February 27th, 1 in March 27th, you said we have six home

460
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:11,650
order.

461
00:35:12,190 --> 00:35:12,490
Thank you.

462
00:35:12,570 --> 00:35:13,290
Four, five.

463
00:35:13,630 --> 00:35:14,170
Excuse me.

464
00:35:14,210 --> 00:35:14,590
On this one.

465
00:35:16,190 --> 00:35:18,410
I think it did three in February.

466
00:35:19,330 --> 00:35:20,130
Oh, you're right.

467
00:35:20,490 --> 00:35:20,730
Okay.

468
00:35:21,110 --> 00:35:21,390
So I.

469
00:35:21,610 --> 00:35:21,790
Yeah.

470
00:35:21,970 --> 00:35:22,830
Three in February.

471
00:35:22,970 --> 00:35:23,110
Yeah.

472
00:35:23,830 --> 00:35:25,010
One in January.

473
00:35:25,530 --> 00:35:26,490
Three in February.

474
00:35:26,770 --> 00:35:27,330
One in March.

475
00:35:28,810 --> 00:35:30,450
Well, we're on that subject.

476
00:35:30,450 --> 00:35:32,390
So we might as well just keep pounding away on the vehicles.

477
00:35:32,690 --> 00:35:32,950
Cool.

478
00:35:33,610 --> 00:35:35,110
How many ambulance are frontline?

479
00:35:35,990 --> 00:35:37,830
And so right now we have to play.

480
00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:38,650
No way.

481
00:35:38,750 --> 00:35:38,990
No way.

482
00:35:39,050 --> 00:35:39,850
Well, no excuse me.

483
00:35:40,110 --> 00:35:41,010
Front line first out.

484
00:35:41,070 --> 00:35:41,670
I have six.

485
00:35:42,490 --> 00:35:43,070
So six.

486
00:35:43,310 --> 00:35:43,710
Yeah.

487
00:35:43,890 --> 00:35:44,230
Patience.

488
00:35:45,110 --> 00:35:45,350
Yes.

489
00:35:45,730 --> 00:35:45,870
Yeah.

490
00:35:46,330 --> 00:35:47,850
We are double stacked.

491
00:35:48,210 --> 00:35:49,330
I mean, the way that we work them.

492
00:35:49,330 --> 00:35:51,350
So obviously we run three on the engine two on the bus.

493
00:35:51,370 --> 00:35:51,670
Right.

494
00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:52,230
Sorry.

495
00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:52,870
Ambulance.

496
00:35:54,970 --> 00:35:56,590
And that second out.

497
00:35:56,710 --> 00:35:56,990
Ambulance.

498
00:35:57,010 --> 00:35:58,570
Every station has a second out ambulance.

499
00:35:58,570 --> 00:36:01,650
that we could bounce off the engine if we have to into that.

500
00:36:03,330 --> 00:36:08,810
And then we have a couple that we use specifically just for standby events.

501
00:36:09,550 --> 00:36:13,470
And those are kind of our older ones that are getting beat up that we don't necessarily read.

502
00:36:13,970 --> 00:36:16,530
We can tell you that we run the wheels off these things.

503
00:36:16,970 --> 00:36:20,270
Our two newest ones are 2022's, I believe.

504
00:36:21,470 --> 00:36:23,850
They're both pushing 90,000 miles right now.

505
00:36:24,490 --> 00:36:30,170
our next ones are 2019's and they both have over 180,000 miles on them. We

506
00:36:30,170 --> 00:36:34,310
won't even talk about the older ones after that. So, we're just once again

507
00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:36,810
just trying to get kind of the nose.

508
00:36:39,390 --> 00:36:42,170
When you mentioned the three remounts of

509
00:36:42,170 --> 00:36:47,250
her life, so what will life be of these new abilities and total years with us

510
00:36:47,250 --> 00:36:52,470
remand? So, we're probably looking close to 10, at least 10 years. Yeah, the

511
00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:55,790
remote, hopefully we're going to cross our fingers.

512
00:36:57,130 --> 00:37:01,810
With the discussion of the new vehicles, the new question is what are you going to do with

513
00:37:01,810 --> 00:37:02,430
our old ones, right?

514
00:37:03,550 --> 00:37:09,110
So back in 2018, the early fire district board passed a rule that at first half vehicles

515
00:37:09,110 --> 00:37:14,410
after 70,000 miles that we strongly look at selling them or so-plusing them because we

516
00:37:14,410 --> 00:37:18,270
do get a return at that mileage that we is favorable for the district.

517
00:37:18,270 --> 00:37:24,570
So we currently have three F-150 staff trucks that were previously in our administrative fleet,

518
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:26,930
such as the tallying, chiefs, inspectors, etc.

519
00:37:27,790 --> 00:37:29,610
And those are up for sale right now as we speak.

520
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:33,510
We're asking right around the 20 to 23,000 range.

521
00:37:33,670 --> 00:37:37,270
So if there's anybody in your municipalities, if you have a department that's looking for

522
00:37:37,270 --> 00:37:41,930
a used truck, they have a camper shell, they have a slide out rack for the bed, which we

523
00:37:41,930 --> 00:37:44,610
use for tactical purposes to be able to access our equipment.

524
00:37:44,970 --> 00:37:46,590
So they're really nice trucks.

525
00:37:46,590 --> 00:37:52,610
They still have some wife left in them and that's three of the of the trucks that we're surplusing. We have another

526
00:37:54,190 --> 00:37:59,950
1995 type 3 one bumper truck that's currently staged and one of our other stations that

527
00:37:59,950 --> 00:38:07,550
You know at 1995 we would like to complete its reach to its end of its lifespan. So we're going to put it up for sale on a

528
00:38:07,550 --> 00:38:14,290
Popular surplus market that we've had good luck with getting good values back on our sales

529
00:38:14,810 --> 00:38:19,030
We also have one two thousand four to four fifty. This one came out of

530
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:24,110
spring nail when we took over that station. It's it was basically a utility

531
00:38:24,110 --> 00:38:28,070
truck that they converted into a lighten air. It kind of responded for their

532
00:38:28,070 --> 00:38:32,890
robust use and technical rescue stuff. We still have that in service as of

533
00:38:32,890 --> 00:38:38,310
today, but we're looking to surplus that to allow us to move into the heavy

534
00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:43,230
rescue side of things. This just doesn't have the room that we need. And so this is

535
00:38:43,230 --> 00:38:48,870
actually a very sought after trucks number one it's a it's got a diesel engine that is very popular on the market today

536
00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:55,950
it's a 73 power stroke so those you know your diesel engine if that one is holding its value quite well these come with this

537
00:38:55,950 --> 00:39:01,810
truck particular comes with very light mileage and usage it's still a very good shape so we're pretty confident we can

538
00:39:02,810 --> 00:39:11,430
get a surprise when we go to sell that we'll probably make a little money there so we have some we've talked about the

539
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:16,230
plus, but the big engine stuff we have, engine 49, which is a 2001 bumper,

540
00:39:16,610 --> 00:39:20,810
Chief Decker mentioned this earlier. Again, we're reaching that time when

541
00:39:20,810 --> 00:39:25,230
manufacturers such as peers say, hey, you know what? We understand that the

542
00:39:25,230 --> 00:39:29,310
outrigger module on that truck is bad. You can't get your outriggers out, but we

543
00:39:29,310 --> 00:39:34,910
don't make a module anymore to make that system function. So now we're stuck with a

544
00:39:34,910 --> 00:39:40,490
vehicle that we can't get repairs made for. So that's an ongoing issue and we're

545
00:39:40,490 --> 00:39:44,230
We're also going to designate some of those trucks, so we've also identified the, hey,

546
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:48,410
this one may be getting older but it would make a really good training engine so that

547
00:39:48,410 --> 00:39:52,510
we can put it at the training facility, be able to pull hose, day in and day out, train

548
00:39:52,510 --> 00:39:53,670
the new recruits, et cetera.

549
00:39:53,830 --> 00:39:58,630
So we're really excited to get some of those things moving and moving around and get some

550
00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:59,530
new vehicles in as well.

551
00:40:00,310 --> 00:40:00,970
That's all I have.

552
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:05,810
And I know we're throwing a lot of information guys, so if we get going too much, please let

553
00:40:05,810 --> 00:40:06,130
us know.

554
00:40:19,810 --> 00:40:24,250
So, we're moving into the technical rescue teams, right?

555
00:40:24,330 --> 00:40:25,070
We're starting to develop.

556
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:29,010
We've got swift water people, high angle, low angle, trench rest.

557
00:40:29,150 --> 00:40:29,710
You can find space.

558
00:40:29,710 --> 00:40:34,110
We're looking to branch into those categories because we have partners in

559
00:40:34,110 --> 00:40:35,870
the St. George and Cedar City that can do that,

560
00:40:35,950 --> 00:40:37,710
but it's all about time, right?

561
00:40:37,910 --> 00:40:40,550
If you're caught in a trench rescue, it's about time.

562
00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:42,290
So we're moving into that.

563
00:40:42,550 --> 00:40:45,070
Our current heavy rescue is of decent size,

564
00:40:45,070 --> 00:40:47,530
but it does not allow all of our equipment to fit in there.

565
00:40:48,170 --> 00:40:50,010
And speaking with other departments in the state

566
00:40:50,010 --> 00:40:51,890
that have purchased brand new heavy rescues,

567
00:40:52,170 --> 00:40:56,850
they're anywhere from $1.2 million to build a nice truck

568
00:40:57,250 --> 00:40:59,310
that will last you that particular, you know,

569
00:40:59,470 --> 00:41:00,310
for 20-something years.

570
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:02,610
One of the departments have noticed

571
00:41:02,610 --> 00:41:08,570
that bought a new heavy rescue had one that I've always loved and admired and we went up and

572
00:41:08,570 --> 00:41:14,350
looked at it and it actually became available for us specifically at first if we wanted it

573
00:41:14,350 --> 00:41:26,530
for a fraction of the cost and so they said hey give us a fair value you know tell us what

574
00:41:26,530 --> 00:41:30,510
you guys will pay for it if we looked at it we tried to find some parables but it's hard to do

575
00:41:30,510 --> 00:41:34,650
because it's such a special rig. So we said, hey, you know, based on what we could find,

576
00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:40,190
we're going to offer you $50,000 and they snatched it right up. And this is a truck that has

577
00:41:41,910 --> 00:41:46,630
insanely low miles. It is so clean and well maintained and taken care of. And we're very excited

578
00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:52,870
to bring it home, get it painted and decal up and have it represent the district on some of these

579
00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:58,510
major incidents. So we're pretty excited about it. We're doing our best to save tax dollars everywhere we can.

580
00:42:06,170 --> 00:42:13,050
I felt bad enough to shoot 50 out of them, but hey, it's been good, so.

581
00:42:19,190 --> 00:42:19,730
Absolutely,

582
00:42:23,110 --> 00:42:23,390
we do.

583
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:24,830
That's a really good question.

584
00:42:24,830 --> 00:42:28,310
And Randy, I was actually on my list to talk about too.

585
00:42:28,530 --> 00:42:33,110
So right now, just to kind of quench your thirst

586
00:42:33,110 --> 00:42:35,590
on that question, we have 39 hazmat technicians

587
00:42:35,590 --> 00:42:37,530
in our district, which is huge.

588
00:42:37,770 --> 00:42:40,090
We actually have the most in southern Utah

589
00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:41,450
for hazmat technicians.

590
00:42:42,130 --> 00:42:44,070
Currently, we have 33 rope technicians,

591
00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:46,770
so high angle, low angle, and that's really important

592
00:42:47,310 --> 00:42:49,150
for another topic that we'll discuss later.

593
00:42:49,370 --> 00:42:51,210
And we also have 11 water technicians.

594
00:42:52,090 --> 00:42:54,310
So keep in mind, that's just the tip of the iceberg,

595
00:42:54,310 --> 00:42:59,310
We still have trench flaps. We still have confined space. We still have urban search

596
00:42:59,310 --> 00:43:04,430
and rescue to be able to find people in rumble piles, which we have a cool opportunity

597
00:43:04,430 --> 00:43:07,530
coming our way with one of the firefighters that we recently picked up.

598
00:43:08,390 --> 00:43:12,350
And so, yeah, just, again, we're just dipping our toes in the water.

599
00:43:12,830 --> 00:43:13,410
It's essential, isn't it?

600
00:43:15,370 --> 00:43:19,190
You incorporate auto-explications into them.

601
00:43:20,690 --> 00:43:25,130
Yes, everybody is extrication trained on the floor and that's part of one of the things

602
00:43:25,130 --> 00:43:29,810
in our firefighter one and two packets so you come out with that basic knowledge but

603
00:43:29,810 --> 00:43:35,330
our wonderful battalion chief overtraining Matt Butterfield organizes training throughout

604
00:43:35,330 --> 00:43:35,730
the year.

605
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:40,830
We'll actually go to a salvage yard and they open it up and say here's the cars you can

606
00:43:40,830 --> 00:43:41,070
cut.

607
00:43:41,290 --> 00:43:45,250
We flip them, roll them, smash them, make them so that it's complicated, it's just not

608
00:43:45,250 --> 00:43:50,610
an easy day at the yard cutting things up and it's designed to you know make

609
00:43:50,610 --> 00:43:53,570
you think outside the box because not everything's the same and I'll tell you

610
00:43:53,570 --> 00:43:57,710
right now cutting apart a heavy tractor trailer or semi-truck or a school bus

611
00:43:57,710 --> 00:44:02,530
is not easy those things are reinforced they're big clunky so getting that

612
00:44:02,530 --> 00:44:10,410
experience is priceless and that's what we're looking to do well we have had a

613
00:44:10,410 --> 00:44:14,070
couple of different things the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy puts on a

614
00:44:14,070 --> 00:44:19,770
summer fire school in Cedar. Well, they do that any more. Summer? Yeah. They do

615
00:44:19,770 --> 00:44:23,290
regional stuff. Oh, regional stuff. Yeah. And there's a Southwood

616
00:44:23,290 --> 00:44:27,090
Jordan Cedar city and those folks are very resourceful and they have six or

617
00:44:27,090 --> 00:44:30,750
seven buses up there that they'll they'll line up and they just you just go down

618
00:44:30,750 --> 00:44:36,370
the line. We've had time. We cut apart a semi-truck box van, you know, that they

619
00:44:36,370 --> 00:44:41,110
that pulls behind a semi-truck. So you really get to see what it's all about and

620
00:44:41,110 --> 00:44:43,290
And now we're moving into electric vehicles.

621
00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:48,590
So we're also positioning our training towards lithium-ion batteries, design a national

622
00:44:48,590 --> 00:44:51,730
part, brought us out and said, hey, we want you guys to come to this training.

623
00:44:51,850 --> 00:44:56,150
We want you to learn about our buses, how we charge them, how they operate, how to shut them

624
00:44:56,150 --> 00:44:58,410
off, and then what to do if something catches on fire.

625
00:44:58,410 --> 00:44:59,970
So, we're always...

626
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,960
Is fine-tuning our knowledge and skills? It's pretty cool. And as you develop your auto-exercification

627
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:13,340
skills, would that be something like if you had a more advanced type of education accident

628
00:45:13,340 --> 00:45:18,860
or that would be falling on the heavy rescue guys having more training in order to add more

629
00:45:18,860 --> 00:45:26,340
tools, possibly? Yeah. So I think as we fine-tune our direction, we're going to have those

630
00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:30,880
those technicians that are especially areas of extrication.

631
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,140
Right now, we're just not quite there yet,

632
00:45:34,260 --> 00:45:35,780
so everybody's got that basic knowledge,

633
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,500
but we do have people on the department

634
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:40,060
that bring in, you know, 20 plus years of experience,

635
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,260
so it's, you know, it's pretty good.

636
00:45:42,940 --> 00:45:43,040
Yeah.

637
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,240
My concern would be, I love to type all the text

638
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:50,100
that we have, the technician, the training.

639
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,080
Are we going to get poached?

640
00:45:52,460 --> 00:45:54,420
Is this individual going to get poached?

641
00:45:54,420 --> 00:45:57,480
You know, what are we doing for retention?

642
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,420
I could probably answer that for you on the next subject.

643
00:46:01,980 --> 00:46:05,020
We have transitioned, our organization has transitioned

644
00:46:05,020 --> 00:46:09,060
over the last couple of years to where we're poaching people.

645
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,160
It's our last testing process.

646
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:13,640
We did.

647
00:46:13,740 --> 00:46:14,760
We had some full-time people.

648
00:46:15,580 --> 00:46:18,960
The caliber of people that we are now starting to pull

649
00:46:20,020 --> 00:46:27,540
is we hired a 12-year, I think he's a 12-year career firefighter from Salt Lake City,

650
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:34,880
lives in Levergan. He's on Utah Task Force 1, so he is Big Sussar. He has a

651
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:39,700
life-set dog that is coming with him as part to be part of our organization.

652
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:48,940
And

653
00:46:49,780 --> 00:46:55,860
It's I think we're doing something right in that direction. Our retention is

654
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:01,060
our retention is completely kind of did this flop. A couple of years ago we were

655
00:47:01,060 --> 00:47:05,340
losing. We're at a point now where people are wanting to come to us. You know

656
00:47:05,340 --> 00:47:10,320
obviously the end of last year we did some wage corrections. That helps but

657
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:16,160
culture is huge and if people like coming to work and enjoy coming to work,

658
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,720
Yeah, I mean, our last testing process, yeah, I think we tested almost 40 people.

659
00:47:26,140 --> 00:47:29,080
I think we had way over that in applications.

660
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,320
I think we had 70, 80 applications.

661
00:47:31,740 --> 00:47:32,880
30 people away.

662
00:47:33,300 --> 00:47:33,420
Yeah.

663
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:34,180
Yeah.

664
00:47:34,180 --> 00:47:34,280
Yeah.

665
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:34,880
That point.

666
00:47:36,380 --> 00:47:37,800
Yeah, go ahead.

667
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:45,300
So I think along those same life, what's bringing people here as well as opportunities and one of the things that we're pushing.

668
00:47:45,300 --> 00:47:48,460
right now starting as a critical care paramedic.

669
00:47:49,060 --> 00:47:52,920
So all of our firefighters are either paramedics

670
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,740
or EMTs, but an additional training

671
00:47:56,740 --> 00:47:59,480
that we can do and provide for is critical care.

672
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:04,080
It's just that much more training

673
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,440
and that's much more stuff that we can offer for them

674
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:07,860
so they can do some invasive stuff

675
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,420
as they transport people along distances,

676
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,140
is generally what happens with that.

677
00:48:12,140 --> 00:48:20,300
that. And it requires more training on their part. It's about a hundred hours total that

678
00:48:20,300 --> 00:48:27,320
they have to get every two years. Paramedics have to do 60 hours. The critical care paramedics

679
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:32,660
will have to do in addition to the hours on specific stuff. So those types of things

680
00:48:33,420 --> 00:48:37,060
brings people, they like that type. Everybody likes that type of stuff.

681
00:48:37,060 --> 00:48:39,780
Are we using Dixie Tech training?

682
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:42,880
We are using, well, we're kind of hogfogging.

683
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,640
So, paramedic right now goes to SWATC because Dixie Tech does not do paramedic yet.

684
00:48:48,100 --> 00:48:48,400
Okay.

685
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:49,800
They're doing AMT.

686
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,020
They're doing AMT and they just started their fire program, which we've been involved with.

687
00:48:54,580 --> 00:48:55,120
So we, yeah.

688
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:04,440
You mentioned 39 guys has them out, is there a designated hazmat company, or is it just

689
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,140
so they just come?

690
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:05,780
Yeah.

691
00:49:05,780 --> 00:49:14,260
So if you get a hazmat, we have enough on staff on shift every day that we can we can take care of a hazmat incident with the region coming in the back

692
00:49:14,260 --> 00:49:19,320
Filks, so they might have to come from different stations in order to get yeah to get that team together, so

693
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,300
Okay, we'll just go

694
00:49:27,540 --> 00:49:33,660
So since I've been put in this position, I feel like I've dealt with a sales person like the whole time

695
00:49:35,780 --> 00:49:39,680
So, one of those things I've had to deal with recently is monitor.

696
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:47,360
So, back in 2020 we got a whole bunch of monitors, our EKG monitors, ones we'll be used

697
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,540
for, we've got a little service.

698
00:49:49,620 --> 00:49:57,300
We got that, purchased through COVID money, CARES Act, we got a, we had the most monitors

699
00:49:57,300 --> 00:50:04,100
in the area out of any of the departments and in the area, well after a whole bunch of

700
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:10,960
recalls and just problems that we've had with that monitor, FDA and Philips and cell

701
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:16,760
for the longer support that monitor so we have approximately two years to get rid of those

702
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:22,400
and replace them. So I've been dealing with cell reps and we just recently decided to go with

703
00:50:23,060 --> 00:50:31,660
life pack and we will be purchasing 16 monitors from that to replace and we have

704
00:50:31,660 --> 00:50:39,760
some. At a pretty significant cost I didn't actually get that numbers. Those are for the

705
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,280
ambulances and the fire companies. Just the ambulance.

706
00:50:45,610 --> 00:50:47,370
We don't have as much

707
00:50:47,370 --> 00:50:49,350
stuff on the ambulance. First we have the engines.

708
00:50:54,210 --> 00:50:55,610
They're in the facts not

709
00:50:55,610 --> 00:50:57,550
of the front and the monitors.

710
00:50:58,410 --> 00:50:59,390
We're not like the police.

711
00:51:00,010 --> 00:51:03,810
No, these are our cardiac monitors we use for.

712
00:51:04,190 --> 00:51:07,310
They are 12 leads so we can see cardiac rhythms

713
00:51:07,310 --> 00:51:09,450
and they also are our defibrillators.

714
00:51:11,610 --> 00:51:12,650
They're not cheap.

715
00:51:12,910 --> 00:51:13,950
The engines are different.

716
00:51:14,790 --> 00:51:16,770
We, so most of the time we have,

717
00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:19,870
they have a tempest, which is if they keep going,

718
00:51:19,930 --> 00:51:21,130
which are our old ones right now.

719
00:51:21,750 --> 00:51:23,110
And we're gonna cycle through those

720
00:51:23,110 --> 00:51:25,370
until they don't work anymore.

721
00:51:26,330 --> 00:51:28,410
And then they'll probably just have AEDs put back on them.

722
00:51:29,210 --> 00:51:33,710
So, okay, what else we got here?

723
00:51:34,410 --> 00:51:35,470
Nick, do you have anything else on yours?

724
00:51:36,630 --> 00:51:40,030
We did talk a little bit before about the buildings

725
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:42,810
and we're going through building new buildings,

726
00:51:42,990 --> 00:51:45,870
but we've also been way behind taking care

727
00:51:45,870 --> 00:51:47,010
of the current buildings that we have.

728
00:51:47,230 --> 00:51:51,450
So we've spent a lot of time, a lot of money updating.

729
00:51:51,450 --> 00:51:57,790
And currently the day we have replaced the roof at station 41 to some inside your modeling as well.

730
00:51:58,370 --> 00:52:03,170
And then we're just going to keep moving on to the other station so we can keep up on that.

731
00:52:04,830 --> 00:52:08,920
I can find that too.

732
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:18,220
So as Chief Wright mentioned about keeping up with maintenance and then Chief Decker mentioned one of the big things about retaining people's culture.

733
00:52:19,060 --> 00:52:24,700
We've tried to come up with our own brand, our own style, our own way to professionally

734
00:52:24,700 --> 00:52:30,820
represent the department and the people that pay tax dollars into the fire district.

735
00:52:31,020 --> 00:52:35,400
And so one of the things we've done is we designated science for each one of our buildings

736
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,940
to represent what we are who we are and also a station number.

737
00:52:39,940 --> 00:52:46,500
Every single building that we have aside from urgent at this point and leads will be done

738
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:50,940
hopefully by next week is you'll see our department logo which is our

739
00:52:50,940 --> 00:52:56,000
fact that you see on our uniforms as well as the number that designates the

740
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,740
station and I personally have heard a really good feedback from the community

741
00:53:00,740 --> 00:53:04,860
because they love to see that all you know people always want to do it was a

742
00:53:04,860 --> 00:53:08,200
fire station but they never knew which one so it's kind of nice to be able to have

743
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:13,300
that that's a face to the name and in sorts so let's been really good that

744
00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:13,500
way.

745
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:25,820
I know we're running out of time. Give you guys some stats real quick, just so you guys know

746
00:53:25,820 --> 00:53:30,980
for the current year where we're hanging about 15% call volume increase over last year.

747
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:38,840
So we're averaging more. Just so you guys have last year we ended up 12% over the year before,

748
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:45,000
the year before we were 27% over the year before that. So I just tell you the growth that we're dealing

749
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:51,060
with in in call volumes and it's not slowing down so that that's some good

750
00:53:51,060 --> 00:53:59,880
good information there. The we part of our wildland crew is already on

751
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:04,760
assignment and say deployment thank you. They're in the brasker right now looks

752
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,440
like they're probably going to do it a full two weeks if I had to guess out there

753
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:13,540
and maybe get extended the way it's going. So wildland season is upon us even

754
00:54:13,540 --> 00:54:14,400
even though it's only March.

755
00:54:14,780 --> 00:54:17,200
I am a little scared of this year,

756
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:18,320
what it's going to bring here,

757
00:54:18,620 --> 00:54:20,080
but we're gonna find out now.

758
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,120
That is, the question always comes up.

759
00:54:23,260 --> 00:54:24,180
If we're on assignment,

760
00:54:24,380 --> 00:54:25,280
do we have the coverage here?

761
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:25,800
Yes, we do.

762
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:30,400
We will never shortchange the district

763
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:31,740
to send people out in the country.

764
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:33,160
So go on that one.

765
00:54:34,820 --> 00:54:35,360
Let's see.

766
00:54:36,860 --> 00:54:38,720
We talked about BC Harman.

767
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,120
Then if you guys have any, you know,

768
00:54:41,220 --> 00:54:43,120
need help with any fuel mitigation projects,

769
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,440
or you want to talk about Willie Code, which we all love talking about, we shoved down

770
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:56,060
all of our throats last year. He is available, and we'll be glad to, we're here to help,

771
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,900
your municipalities work through those processes. We're going to help you.

772
00:54:59,900 --> 00:55:03,140
We didn't come up, spring dealing is a really good program for this.

773
00:55:03,860 --> 00:55:07,640
Answering me if you had a deal with the residents.

774
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:09,860
So we appreciate the deal.

775
00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:15,800
Part of what he's doing is a program that we're, I think, done with.

776
00:55:16,380 --> 00:55:17,320
We've stood up.

777
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:18,780
It's called REMS.

778
00:55:19,340 --> 00:55:27,700
It's the rapid extraction modules for not just wild land deployments,

779
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:30,780
but they are full-blown FEMA deployments in the whole country.

780
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,060
So basically, they're a small group of core people.

781
00:55:34,180 --> 00:55:39,160
There's four of them involved that they are the rescue team for the rescuers, if that

782
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:39,600
makes sense.

783
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,640
So if something happens to firefighters a while and they're the ones who go in and pull

784
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,780
them out, they're in a FEMA thing.

785
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,140
They're there to protect the people that are doing the rescuers.

786
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:56,740
So that program is stood up and looking probably, I bet, be on its first assignment in April

787
00:55:56,740 --> 00:56:05,500
if I had to guess. So, and those are all good revenue sources for us. Offset the budget.

788
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:13,860
It's been great. Last two things I've got are they kind of tied together. There are standby

789
00:56:13,860 --> 00:56:19,360
events that we have and our community outreach that we're doing. And, Cole, do you want to jump on those?

790
00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:25,460
Yeah. So, community outreach was something that was something we thought of that we're like,

791
00:56:25,460 --> 00:56:27,020
But how can we get more involved in the community?

792
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,380
Kids obviously love us, which I know the cops hate that,

793
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:35,540
but we do pride ourselves in being

794
00:56:35,540 --> 00:56:38,140
liked by the community, and I say that to fun.

795
00:56:38,740 --> 00:56:41,080
But because Nick is a copter, please

796
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:41,360
also.

797
00:56:43,020 --> 00:56:45,080
But one of the things we wanted to do

798
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,760
is how do we further engage the community?

799
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:49,420
And that includes everybody that we represent here

800
00:56:49,420 --> 00:56:50,040
within the district.

801
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,000
So we picked up a enclosed trailer.

802
00:56:53,000 --> 00:57:00,120
We have a decal out, we have tables and chairs, we have things to set up, we can roll out

803
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:07,040
carbon there to respond to medical situations at an event and it's really becoming a hit.

804
00:57:07,540 --> 00:57:12,640
We have a smoke trailer that it looks like a camp trailer, it's incredibly long if you

805
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:18,560
oversee it, it'll be like that thing keeps going but it has the ability to have fake smoke

806
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:23,420
it teaches kids how to crawl up and smoke, how to fuel the door for what smoke

807
00:57:23,420 --> 00:57:29,440
detector sound like. It teaches kitchen safety around a hot stove. It teaches you

808
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:33,280
know I think it goes on and on and on and then you get a crawl out the window at

809
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,820
the end and every kid that I've ever seen other than the ones that are

810
00:57:35,820 --> 00:57:40,700
definitely afraid of it have a big smile on their face and they're so happy. So you'll

811
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:44,560
see that on a rollout like last year we had it at Peach Days we're gonna put it

812
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,240
that Matt's offering recovery, it's actually there now

813
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,800
and we'll start working that tomorrow.

814
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,860
One of the things that kind of ties into this

815
00:57:51,860 --> 00:57:54,340
is we're trying to roll the community outreach

816
00:57:54,340 --> 00:57:55,840
into our special events.

817
00:57:56,060 --> 00:57:58,040
And for those of you that don't know,

818
00:57:59,260 --> 00:58:02,220
we do stand by us for fire and AMS for special events

819
00:58:02,220 --> 00:58:03,400
within the district.

820
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,260
And this is the Mecca for special events.

821
00:58:06,540 --> 00:58:08,220
So I remember that designation.

822
00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:12,740
And we, or I think we're up to about 27 events every year.

823
00:58:12,740 --> 00:58:17,480
I don't have an hourly total of how many hours we spend on those events, but there are

824
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,840
a lot of man hours that go into staffing those, preparing for them.

825
00:58:21,340 --> 00:58:24,980
But we don't want to just essentially sit there with our bags ready to go.

826
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,400
We want to engage the public, and so we're trying to tie this community outreach in.

827
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,380
And you'll see this at Maths Offerow Games, Peach Days, the Easter Car Show, we'll have it there.

828
00:58:33,820 --> 00:58:35,880
We also do a public safety chili cook-off.

829
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,840
The burn house may not be there for that because it's limited space, but that's where you'll

830
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,480
to see the community outreach people there,

831
00:58:41,700 --> 00:58:42,880
interacting with the public.

832
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:47,480
Our big personal favorite, that's something

833
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,480
that's near and dear to us as Patriots today, 911.

834
00:58:49,980 --> 00:58:51,520
You've seen the flag being raised in town.

835
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,620
We try to do something there for community

836
00:58:54,620 --> 00:58:57,220
and that's a huge thing for our community outreach.

837
00:58:57,500 --> 00:58:59,080
UTV takeover is also huge.

838
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,600
And Washington County, Ferro Roeo, and last but not least,

839
00:59:04,220 --> 00:59:05,480
Green, Colobb days.

840
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:06,960
Hi, how are you guys doing?

841
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:13,140
We love being there and we love interacting with people and I think it's really

842
00:59:13,140 --> 00:59:17,320
helped us build good relationships and you know positive ones with community

843
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,880
members so. And piggybacking on that if you guys have any events in your

844
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,360
communities that are kind of those street fairs things like that please let us

845
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:29,240
know we want to branch into every community that we cover and be part of that so

846
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,840
anything we can do even if it's not we don't bring the smokehouse we come set up

847
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:38,900
our tent and do simple first-aid treating or blood pressure checks or whatever it is.

848
00:59:40,060 --> 00:59:41,720
We're really big on that community involvement.

849
00:59:42,300 --> 00:59:51,740
So, on the community outreach, not really on standbys, absolutely, standbys pay for

850
00:59:51,740 --> 00:59:52,100
themself.

851
00:59:52,340 --> 00:59:57,560
So, that is the one thing that we have a good fee schedule that's tied with that.

852
00:59:58,060 --> 00:59:59,940
and if they need to have it in.

853
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,200
I don't seem to have a truck that they had paid for itself. So, I've got to go. I think that is everything on my list. I have one more. Sorry, you said make sure you prepare for this. So one of the things that I think we're super proud of, we're just proud in general, right? This is the organization of people, but mental health is a huge frontline topic right now,

854
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,080
with our responders, even people that aren't responders.

855
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:34,200
And so one of the things we want to do is make sure

856
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,460
that our people are 100% as good to go as they can be.

857
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,680
And sometimes you're dealing with things that happen at home.

858
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,220
And sometimes you're dealing with things that happen to work

859
01:00:43,220 --> 01:00:45,120
and the two firefighters you saw in here today,

860
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,360
actually, you went on a really traumatic call two shifts ago.

861
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,680
And so we had the opportunity to use this program

862
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:54,980
and I'm about to describe to you.

863
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,100
So we were mandated by the state to set up a mental health group.

864
01:00:58,100 --> 01:01:05,520
group. We have a captain, some staff members as well, in this group along with firefighters

865
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:10,520
and we created a peer support team. So when a call goes out that has, you know, potentially

866
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:15,080
traumatic defense to our responders, we will reach out to them after the call. We pay

867
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:19,560
them a visit, shake their hand, ask them if they need anything. Sometimes that involves sitting

868
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,900
galloping by the dinner table, taking a break, we'll brown the station out to allow them

869
01:01:23,900 --> 01:01:30,080
to decompress for just a second, we talk about what's going on, we talk about what's

870
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:36,080
going on and you know if they're affected by it and if there is reason, we call the

871
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:41,340
state CISM team, critical incident stress management is what that stands for and they come

872
01:01:41,340 --> 01:01:45,740
down and they'll set up a group like in this room and we have a big round table or a circle

873
01:01:45,740 --> 01:01:50,560
of chairs and we actually get those feelings out, we talk about things and trust me if you've

874
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:55,700
been a part of one of those extremely emotional but beneficial. We have 10

875
01:01:55,700 --> 01:02:00,140
members in that program and I think it is doing well. We have sent out a

876
01:02:00,140 --> 01:02:04,540
monthly newsletter and we're proud to announce we're going to hold our first

877
01:02:04,540 --> 01:02:09,680
family mental health awareness night in April in which you guys are all invited

878
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,080
to. If you'd like to attend we would love to have you. We're going to have our

879
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,280
medical control doctor Dr. Crosby. We're going to have a dietitian as well as a

880
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,640
mental health professional to help talk about some of the things that

881
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,740
loom in our career and how we can best deal with that. Spouses are also

882
01:02:24,740 --> 01:02:29,060
invited because well they get to deal with that too. So we're doing our best

883
01:02:29,060 --> 01:02:32,840
to make sure that our people are squared away and that they feel loved and taking

884
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:39,120
care of some. When does something? April 16th. And we're not a hundred percent

885
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:43,300
16, 16, 16, 16. We're not a hundred percent sure on start time yet but it'll

886
01:02:43,300 --> 01:02:54,030
be in the evening. There's a the mental health coordinator is associated with the district

887
01:02:54,030 --> 01:03:00,590
specific program or there within the state they just show up. So we have a group that

888
01:03:00,590 --> 01:03:06,310
we pay for it's called vest. Invest is it's a contracted company they have mental health

889
01:03:06,310 --> 01:03:09,790
professionals that have come and trained our peer support group right so we're not just

890
01:03:09,790 --> 01:03:12,050
wing in it, we want to make sure we're handling things

891
01:03:12,050 --> 01:03:16,710
tactfully and with Cooth, but they train us and then if

892
01:03:16,710 --> 01:03:20,590
something is outside our reach or beyond our our ability, we

893
01:03:20,590 --> 01:03:24,390
know when to to phone for help call friend and then we get a

894
01:03:24,390 --> 01:03:27,990
whole of the state CISN team and they have somebody that

895
01:03:27,990 --> 01:03:30,290
answers the phone all the time because it goes through the

896
01:03:30,290 --> 01:03:33,190
dispatch center up Salt Lake and they just start making calls

897
01:03:33,190 --> 01:03:36,350
getting a team set up usually within 24 to 48 hours.

898
01:03:36,350 --> 01:03:41,730
you can have them down here and meeting with crews and starting that first step in the process.

899
01:03:43,770 --> 01:03:45,290
I hope that answered your question.

900
01:03:46,450 --> 01:03:46,690
Thank you.

901
01:03:50,270 --> 01:03:55,970
The only other thing I just kind of wanted to briefly mention is I'm in charge of consumables

902
01:03:55,970 --> 01:04:04,830
and like PPE and stuff like that for the fire fighters, just I just wanted to let you know

903
01:04:04,830 --> 01:04:09,170
the work constantly going through different vendors, trying to figure out what is best for

904
01:04:09,650 --> 01:04:14,110
the taxpayers and also for our district. So, what was being made during this year's

905
01:04:14,110 --> 01:04:15,550
work? What kind of stuff was that money?

906
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:23,540
That's my list. For those who are new, I

907
01:04:24,060 --> 01:04:28,800
failed to introduce everybody, but Mel is on the end. Mel is actually our district clerk.

908
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,020
So same as like I said you recorder

909
01:04:32,580 --> 01:04:38,240
Megan is our HR director our treasurer and the office manager

910
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,500
She rooms every office and she is the real boss. So they tell everybody

911
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:48,080
She keeps us together. Um, she furly, she fright our legal counsel Ben

912
01:04:49,060 --> 01:04:51,200
Hopefully you guys know who I am by now

913
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:52,640
but

914
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:57,040
I will make myself available to anybody on the board at any time

915
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:03,960
I'll make sure you guys all have my phone number if you have a question to comment anything call me that that is my

916
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:11,020
I put myself out there when I took this position and I'm for believer in that that you know if you guys need information

917
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,920
If I'm not around these two are right there behind me

918
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,700
So don't ever hesitate to call email text me

919
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:25,160
Randy does it all the time seem to be hanging from the rafters in my garage when he calls, but it always happens

920
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:33,840
But I can't say that enough or there were an open line of communication or there for anything you guys

921
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:34,580
might need.

922
01:05:37,820 --> 01:05:38,260
Okay.

923
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,500
Do we want to go into a closed session to talk about legal stuff?

924
01:05:43,820 --> 01:05:47,020
I think it's a few minutes, I think if you do the problem, you can get that deal.

925
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:47,380
Okay.

926
01:05:48,060 --> 01:05:50,960
So we need to have a vote to go into a closed session.

927
01:05:52,860 --> 01:05:55,980
We're going to a close session, this is just pending litigation.
