[0:04] 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,

[0:13] Lorraine would you like to conduct until we get to that point? Somebody has to.

[0:19] All right well then let's call the movie to order and let's begin with the prayer and

[0:30] if I got somebody who would like to do the prayer, don't do it. Okay and then we'll do

[0:35] much of the legions and maybe we'll follow and do that.

[0:37] Family

[0:42] Father, we are thankful that we can gather here this evening for the fire commission meeting.

[0:49] We do ask that you bless this new board, give us wisdom, insight as we work through the fire department.

[0:55] 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

[1:07] and gifts within the Hertz and Valley Fire District.

[1:10] He's purged up in Jesus' name.

[1:13] Name it in the name of Jesus Christ, huh?

[1:21] Where are these?

[1:22] Gold.

[1:22] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

[1:27] and to the Republic for which it stands,

[1:30] one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

[1:37] Thank

[1:41] you.

[1:41] So I think we can't do any business until we move it down to D and number one.

[1:48] Yeah, so I would just say just move B down and after you guys have to discuss and vote for

[1:53] Chair and Vice Chair, we can go right back to doing the consent.

[1:56] We need to make a motion to change the agenda and move to that one.

[2:00] Yeah.

[2:01] 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.

[2:17] Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[2:22] Okay. Okay. Okay. So, who's, Joe, are you going to run the election?

[2:29] You want me to run the election? Okay. So, this is fairly simple in our by-laws. It's, um, anybody can

[2:37] be the chair and vice chair it just takes a motion and the vote of the board to move

[2:41] those positions.

[2:42] You can do them as one vote or you can do them individually.

[2:46] So is there anybody that is just dying to be the chair?

[2:50] I will tell you that I did have some discussions with Lorine and she's willing to do it at

[2:57] the chair but we don't know about vice chair.

[3:02] So who's going to get railroaded?

[3:07] Anybody?

[3:08] I will nominate Lorraine to be the chair.

[3:13] I'm happy to serve in the vice chair.

[3:15] I don't know.

[3:16] I've got to have more green.

[3:23] Sounds like some way just needs to make a motion.

[3:25] I will nominate to be the vice chair.

[3:29] And I will make a motion that we elect our chair and vice chair by acclimation.

[3:36] Okay.

[3:38] Second that.

[3:43] And Lorraine, since you're acting,

[3:45] Until this is done. What do you call for a vote all right? Let's call for a vote

[3:49] We'll start on that end and please state your name

[3:54] I

[4:01] Waiting for tonight

[4:07] Okay, anybody got a train sound

[4:17] okay so with that we can move back up to the contingent. Okay so I guess the

[4:24] first thing we need to do then on the consent agenda is declaration of conflict

[4:30] of interest and if we start down with Randy and come down with I'm going to

[4:45] and no conflict.

[4:46] Wait.

[4:47] Here's a no conflict.

[4:48] And the reencock's no conflict.

[4:50] Okay.

[4:51] The next three you can take all as one vote if there's no questions.

[4:54] So I would entertain a motion for approval of consent agenda.

[5:01] I move for approval of consent agenda.

[5:04] The remaining items are to the agenda that's modified.

[5:08] Approval the minutes December 1st, 25th December 15th, 25th.

[5:14] and review the tax and deposits on December 20, 25 January, 20, 26, and 5.

[5:23] Thank you.

[5:25] Thank you.

[5:26] We've got a motion in a second.

[5:29] We'll do a vote beginning again with Randy.

[5:33] Randy, come on.

[5:35] Paul, will we on?

[5:36] Scott, I call I.

[5:38] Scott's and I.

[5:39] Wayne Feeder's and I.

[5:40] Marine Cox eye. Okay see that that passes on the consent gender we're moving right

[5:48] along. Okay do we have I don't have any comments so unless anybody wants to make

[5:57] comment then we'll move on. Okay see you then we'll move forward with that. So we've

[6:07] already done business number one. Looks like we have open office for

[6:14] to Italian.

[6:18] So well, I get to do this one. So this is the fun part of the job

[6:20] right. We always try to do it the first so people don't have to hang at the

[6:23] whole meeting. So we got the Italian Chief Dave Harmon which is sitting to my

[6:26] right. Dave came to us in October of last year he runs our wild land

[6:33] division. He's been a great asset to us. He's helped us get our couple of good

[6:39] programs going. He brings 29 years and expertise in the wildland world and I know

[6:51] he's worked with a couple of you already with Springdale and Mayor Peterson. I

[6:55] know he's worked with you a little bit and he is available to help with anything

[6:59] While unrelated in any of your communities so on that and on that mode should we go swear at you you back

[7:16] You're gonna be of the pinning

[8:00] I gave it hard with my David Armin.

[8:02] Do solemnly swear, do solemnly swear that I will support.

[8:05] And I will support, but they defend, they defend the Constitution of the United States.

[8:09] The Constitution of the United States.

[8:11] The Constitution of the State of Utah, and the Constitution of the State of Utah,

[8:14] and that I will discharge the duties of my office with the delities.

[8:17] And that I will discharge the duties of my office with the delities.

[8:21] So that's where it's going to go.

[8:23] Let me start the floor.

[9:04] You can step back and do it, okay, take my shoes and thank you for what you've done.

[9:25] Okay,

[9:28] we're on a deadline today.

[9:30] Get

[9:36] all the good shoes you want in.

[9:42] Okay.

[9:43] All right.

[9:44] Next slide.

[9:44] We are now on to the board meeting schedule.

[9:49] We have already seen issues with my schedule.

[9:55] Okay.

[9:56] So all we did is we took the schedule of we normally do, which is always the first Monday of the month,

[10:00] and carried them.

[10:02] We need to change anything.

[10:03] We can sure do that.

[10:04] And the other is there's discussion.

[10:06] we had our board meetings at 6, we had them at 4, this 4, what time works better for everybody,

[10:12] is there a better day in the month that works for everybody? What can we do to accommodate?

[10:19] So I want to know, if Monday's actually the only day possible for our family to get used to it.

[10:29] Later in the week's better for me.

[10:33] What nights is everybody's city and town councils Wednesdays?

[10:38] Thursday and I know you're Thursdays right?

[10:45] What about Tuesdays?

[10:55] What if we did

[11:04] All you've got I forgot yeah you got do you have stuff on Tuesday?

[11:11] every Tuesday about Thursday's yeah if we did it what time do you guys start. Second third day is

[11:24] council meeting that's what second third day work. How does that work does that work for

[11:41] And when did they begin?

[11:43] 4.

[11:44] 4.

[11:45] How about 4 first days?

[11:52] How long are those meetings?

[11:54] Hopefully we're out of there by 5, so we get back in 6.

[12:00] My preference is 6 for the public.

[12:03] I know that's not.

[12:04] Everybody's else's preference.

[12:06] Not like they're complicated to public.

[12:07] Should they be?

[12:10] I'm okay with 6.

[12:15] So that was second Thursday, right? Second Thursday at six o'clock?

[12:20] Or they're saying so six o'clock.

[12:23] Wait, wait, second is your...

[12:25] No, no.

[12:25] First or third is mine.

[12:27] Okay.

[12:27] Second is the skeeto board, right?

[12:29] Yeah, but we'll make it at six.

[12:32] That'll be fine.

[12:32] That's good.

[12:33] That's good.

[12:34] Does that work for everybody?

[12:37] Second Thursday at six o'clock.

[12:39] Yeah, that work for you

[12:46] Okay, here. Yes

[12:49] 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

[12:55] so

[12:57] And I've got a good vice president. So when I'm going in April and and

[13:04] And I'm going to have another day and take a little night.

[13:11] OK.

[13:12] All right.

[13:13] Oh, me.

[13:14] I've got schoolwork stuff in April.

[13:19] And then I'm going to Nairobi on June 1st, so.

[13:25] All right.

[13:26] See that?

[13:28] Then we are going to do the 2nd, 3rd day.

[13:32] 6 p.m.

[13:33] 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.

[13:45] Okay, now public and open meeting training, are we going to do that tonight?

[13:49] So the million dollar question is I know you all have to do this annually with your downs and your cities.

[13:55] Have you guys done them already? Can you get me copies of proof that you guys did them?

[14:00] Yes.

[14:00] If you can do that, then we do not have to do this tonight.

[14:04] The special service district training is the email that I sent out.

[14:08] I've got some of you have sent me that back already.

[14:11] If you could get that to me at your convenience, that would be great.

[14:15] See, there, we just skipped over.

[14:17] Did a whole other subject?

[14:19] Two separate trainings.

[14:21] Two separate trainings.

[14:21] Yeah.

[14:22] Yeah.

[14:24] Okay.

[14:25] Okay, discussion, our next one is discussion about ordering two engines, which will be two

[14:34] Yes, I'll take this one.

[14:36] So this is really similar to what we did about a year ago.

[14:40] We're still trying to play catch up with our apparatus and I'll let chief early and chief

[14:46] right, chief Nick.

[14:49] Jump in on this one also.

[14:50] So we'll know it's price fire engines are going up, the build times stretched out so we're

[14:56] three years still on build time for these trucks.

[15:00] 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.

[15:24] You know, the average lifespan of a fire engine is a front lines 15 years and then it kind

[15:29] of goes into reserve status after that.

[15:32] We are terribly behind on our equipment replacement, which we've been off a big chunk last year,

[15:39] which we can get into for those who are here who know that we have six ambulances on order.

[15:45] We have another fire engine and another aerial ladder on order.

[15:51] we have two type 6 brush trucks which are like the pickup size, F550s, and then

[15:57] we have three type 1 type 3 brush trucks. There are a wild and urban interface

[16:03] truck. We're close to Cal Fire Respect 34s that are on order also. So that kind

[16:10] of gets us back up. These last two engines will actually put us in the queue and

[16:14] and replace Leverkan's and Springdale's to the point

[16:19] we're kind of back getting ahead of our equipment.

[16:25] So any questions I can answer for you guys.

[16:28] I got a question.

[16:29] Some of the say somebody around the New Year's Eve

[16:32] truck basically thinks it out of service.

[16:34] You do have some that come back.

[16:37] You have one reserve right now.

[16:40] So it is scary, right?

[16:43] and some of our equipment are our truck that's in leads is a 2005 2004 and it's

[16:53] just everything the district has been in the last few years has been trying to

[16:59] play catch-up and you'll see that more as we get into tonight's discussions about

[17:04] everything that we've been doing the good thing about this is we we sign on the

[17:08] documents just like last time we don't pay for the trucks till they show up but it

[17:11] locks the price in on them, where we don't have any price increases.

[17:16] How does that relate with homeowners like insurance?

[17:26] So is there different insurance zones and is that based off of the curve we have?

[17:30] It all ties together into one big conglomeration.

[17:34] So pump capacity is huge on your ISO rating, which ties to your homeowners insurance.

[17:41] And they basically when they come in and they do the inspection, the whole overview of

[17:48] the district, they look at large building, spread outs of your stations, how many frontline

[17:55] engines you have, what is your pump capacity of those, calculate how big the building is,

[18:01] what per square footage, and how much gallons per minute you need to put that fire out and

[18:04] and they take that tie it to all your trucks,

[18:07] which helps either increase or lower your rates.

[18:11] Our ISO inspection last year we got,

[18:14] we happily went from a six to a four.

[18:17] I think we can easily get to a two,

[18:20] but one of the big things that they found on us,

[18:22] which is pushed us in the stations also,

[18:25] is we're five stations short,

[18:26] and we're about 8,000 GPM low on what we need to be.

[18:31] So, this, we're working towards fixing all of that in all of these, all these discussions.

[18:37] So, is that already personnel also?

[18:40] Yes.

[18:41] Yes, it is deployment of personnel also, and that's where the five stations come in.

[18:45] Because they look at distance on everything, your response times.

[18:48] How many people you actually have on an active incident?

[18:52] You know, NFPA 1710 says you need 15 people for an initial structure fire attack.

[18:57] We have how many on shift 20 but that includes Springdale which Springdale's 30

[19:07] minutes away so we barely meet one initial attack on a fire and so I'm not

[19:16] looking at you but we're making good progress from where we were so do you have

[19:24] any kind of an idea, and maybe this is a very difficult question to have, but for the average

[19:29] one more, what does it change from like a six to a five or even, as you discussed, from

[19:36] a, what currently in a four or a two? What does that mean to the finances of the, it's really

[19:44] hard, every insurance company's different, right? So it's really, really hard to say that.

[19:49] I know in commercial base, for every number you drop, because one is best 10 is worst.

[19:56] Every number you drop to you get to about 4 is about a 10% change in your insurance policy.

[20:04] When you go from 4 to 3, 3 to 2, 2 to 1, it drastically impacts it even more, but every insurance

[20:12] company is different.

[20:13] For some I've seen the big players and I'm not going to call out any of them but some

[20:19] of them are, you know, 5% some are 30% and now they're also throwing the brush mapping

[20:25] all your woolly stuff on top of that in their calculations, which is where this guy comes

[20:30] in.

[20:32] So, but yeah, I can guarantee you that for every time we drop a point, it is, it ends

[20:42] up being way more of a savings than what the cost to, you know, property tax does to

[20:50] us. So for our individual. Okay. And the paper be the rigs. This is to sell the general

[20:59] fund. This would be what it would come out of our capital project fund. Yeah. So.

[21:08] Any other

[21:09] Any other questions? We covered it?

[21:16] A full motion?

[21:16] Seeing none?

[21:17] It's a discussion item.

[21:19] Oh, it's a discussion item.

[21:21] So, we can vote on it.

[21:23] Oh, and a vote.

[21:24] It says it right there.

[21:25] Okay.

[21:26] Okay.

[21:27] I'll make a motion to approve.

[21:30] We're working on two different things.

[21:33] Okay.

[21:34] We have a motion.

[21:35] A second.

[21:36] A second.

[21:38] Let's start with brand again.

[21:39] Sorry, Randy.

[21:40] Randy is on it.

[21:41] Well, he's meant that.

[21:43] Paul, are we on?

[21:44] Scott, echo.

[21:45] Hi.

[21:46] David, are we on?

[21:47] Scott, Sam.

[21:48] Yes.

[21:49] Where's Peter tonight?

[21:51] Three in Hawks, aye.

[21:53] Okay.

[21:56] Three in Hawks.

[21:57] That means eight times while I'm used to having to do something first.

[22:04] That's good.

[22:06] That's good.

[22:07] That's good.

[22:09] And I know that you've been working on that thing.

[22:12] I was pushing, I was kind of getting there and couldn't get that wet.

[22:17] You're good, you're good.

[22:18] Let's do the update on the station 41.

[22:22] So, this is in kind of your packet.

[22:24] We've got some bigger renderings here, from what's it.

[22:27] So, everybody that's new, as part of like we're just kind of piggyback.

[22:31] Seems like all of our conversations that are just going to continue to keep

[22:34] piggybacking on each other.

[22:37] Discovering how short we were on stations and the placements, we last year started the

[22:43] project of design and going into the build of the new admin station, which should be

[22:48] station 41, we're finalizing the property out by this is just on the entrance to San

[22:55] Hollow, right, on the north side by the guard check.

[23:00] We have four acres right there that we've been working with, the water district to get.

[23:03] And this would be that station that is placed there.

[23:08] So this is kind of where we're at in schematic and plans.

[23:12] We're moving into engineering plan right now.

[23:15] Hopefully we'll be able to go out to bid probably close somewhere in June.

[23:21] What we're looking at.

[23:23] Our goal is to have a shovel in the ground by July or early August this year

[23:27] and we're 18 month construction time.

[23:29] What this station will do is it takes every kind of annexed area that we have all of our

[23:36] admin staff, put them all in one spot, and it opens a new company out in the southern

[23:44] part of our district.

[23:46] We've been very thoughtful and thorough with our architects, we're super happy with them.

[23:52] The idea with this particular station is, as we move from the admin station, we move to

[23:59] the next station in the queue, which is in lead.

[24:03] It's out to Silvery, is that what it's called, still?

[24:08] Silvery Cliffs, sorry, subdivision.

[24:13] We're moving to what would be a neighborhood design,

[24:16] which is basically we're gonna take this station,

[24:19] shave one bay off of it,

[24:21] shave the all admin side off of it,

[24:23] and then that station will plug in all the future spots.

[24:27] So we're looking at

[24:29] Leagues in that area then we look at Virgin is next, co-op, this building will not go in co-op

[24:36] That'll be a whole different aspect of what we have to build for up there.

[24:40] And then 3,000 South in Hurricane.

[24:43] And then that'll give us a majority of the coverage that we need for our ISO ratings.

[24:49] Do we have any kind of blood?

[24:52] I don't know, we are going to stress you.

[24:57] Do I want to scare you?

[25:01] Yeah.

[25:02] So we were going at this every bit of thinking we spent a lot of time talking to St.

[25:07] George, people that have built around us.

[25:10] And we were thinking we would get it in the $4 to $450 square foot range.

[25:14] Our architecture coming back at $6.50.

[25:18] We are, I'm still hoping very true to the 400 to 450, but we're really not going to

[25:25] know that number until we get some cost estimations in and we go to bed, unfortunately.

[25:31] We're not, it's not a Taj Mahal, I can tell you we haven't put anything that's not needed

[25:36] in the building, we did, we are trying to build this for a 50 year building.

[25:41] It's got to last us for a while, we're going to spend this much money so there are a few

[25:45] extra offices in the admin area for future growth but there I can guarantee

[25:50] there is no fluff in this building so now you want to know the real scary

[25:56] part we're 30,000 square feet so we're about 18 million dollars so we're

[26:06] coming back on the building if it lands at $600 square foot

[26:11] I saw the extra office face when I looked at the plan.

[26:16] You're going to have a real bad day for it.

[26:18] We're trying not to.

[26:20] We're really trying not to.

[26:22] We have battled this going back and forth and back and forth in which way to go.

[26:29] I am a firm believer that this particular plan now where we've landed it

[26:34] is going to last us a long time.

[26:36] You know, and it does give us the capability where we've looked at is, okay, if we outgrow

[26:41] those offices, where in there could we split, where could we add more walls, where could

[26:46] we, where could you saw it in the end, where we've been tried to be very forward thinking

[26:50] in the way that we're doing this, because trust me, you know, in 50 years, I'm not going

[26:55] to be here to deal with this, at least I hope, but yeah, you know, I think the renderings

[27:05] came out good the exterior of it looks good I'm a bit I'm super happy you guys

[27:10] got anything to add I think we're super grateful for the

[27:14] Conservancy Districts loneliness with us on the property and I just

[27:30] have a

[27:39] No, we're looking, we're actually looking at steel and not even doing CMU, it's actually

[27:45] cheaper than even block is right now.

[27:48] So yeah, that's been the topic.

[27:51] Now, depending there are some construction methods that when we go to RFP there could be

[27:56] some alternatives. Part of that might be tilt up in the bay area. It's all going to tie to

[28:03] what is going to become at this. What can we get quality at the cheapest price that meets the

[28:08] new building codes? So yes sir. This will be admin and all you command staff. This will be everything

[28:16] okay. Everything in this building. Where is this will encompass training also? Yes. So yes. So part

[28:24] of that if you on the site plan that kind of rectangles in the back in the center is a training

[28:29] tower. Okay, so this will be for new recruits and ongoing training for the staff. Okay,

[28:36] yes sir. And then the rendering show ambulance and engine are there. So we're doing the idea right

[28:45] now is this station will eventually become a two ambulance company. So we'll have two buses,

[28:52] So it would be a ladder station and a heavier ski will come out of this one.

[28:56] And the reason being the rescue is going to be at this station is because of all the water

[29:00] stuff at sand hollow, everything we deal with out on the sand dunes, it's a majority where

[29:05] a lot of our technical stuff comes out of.

[29:10] And it will be a technical rescue type system.

[29:13] And it will have designated fire fighters or will they be flexed from the engine to this?

[29:19] So the idea, well,

[29:23] it's all going to defend on funding, yeah, so this particular building

[29:29] has seven bedrooms in it, plus a captain suite.

[29:31] So is the capability there to have a dedicated truck company, yes, we can, will we ever

[29:38] get there?

[29:38] I don't know.

[29:40] It's a lot of money.

[29:41] But the members will be trained up, so if you do get a compliance base or a transfer,

[29:46] they will have the search system to do that, yeah, through that thing.

[29:50] throughout the district. Yes. And the ultimate disposition of existing station 41?

[29:57] We're actually going to keep it in service.

[30:00] 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.

[30:28] is which that one will be. And then we're actually going to probably move the

[30:32] wild end creaming to that station.

[30:36] And you're utilized for your, you have utilized search and rescue. I'm going to

[30:41] zoom with the Sheriff's Office out of there. Yeah, whatever, we're a partner with

[30:46] old tomorrow agencies and whatever they need and whatever we do to help with, we're

[30:49] going to do that. Okay. Any other questions I can give you on update on that?

[30:59] We'll

[31:00] We need some procedural, procedurally things that we will have to do as we're moving into the bidding process.

[31:07] One of the things is we will be creating our own MBA, well, LBA, local building authority.

[31:15] Instead of going to the counties, municipal building authority that they currently have,

[31:21] just so we're kind of growing up and moving into our own.

[31:26] We have a municipal advisor, financial advisor, is Zion's bank, so we'll be using Zion's

[31:35] bank for all of our bonding purposes, looking at different opportunities between CIB, private

[31:41] market, things like that.

[31:42] The likelihood is we're probably going to go to private market for bonding on this station

[31:46] just because CIB has notoriously been running out of money.

[31:50] I

[31:53] know that it's a lot of financial mumbo-jumbo stuff that nobody likes to talk about.

[31:58] So, are you requesting a CME with five counting?

[32:02] Is that what I'm hearing?

[32:03] We've talked about it.

[32:05] We're still trying to decide if we're going to put in an app or not.

[32:07] We most likely will not, because we won't get funded on it.

[32:11] Okay.

[32:11] So we'll probably just move to private bonding.

[32:13] All right.

[32:14] So, that would be like a one year or 30.

[32:17] We'll do a 30 year note on that one.

[32:19] Yep.

[32:20] So.

[32:21] I'm sorry for you.

[32:25] I'm sorry.

[32:26] Well, we'll have to go through.

[32:27] the bonding, but we'll be okay.

[32:32] Okay. Any other questions I can answer you on that one?

[32:36] Right, you're up again Joe. This is like the Joe show today.

[32:43] Okay, so update. A lot of new faces,

[32:48] so we've all kind of put our lists down and we want to kind of bring you kind of up the speed of

[32:54] where we are as an organization, where we're going.

[32:59] The couple things that I have on mine

[33:02] and please, we're all gonna jump in

[33:06] on these conversations.

[33:08] So first thing, we're working towards our website.

[33:11] We are in the process of redesigning our website.

[33:14] We're probably about 50% of the way done with that.

[33:18] Part of that is the requirements now

[33:19] that we have to do ADA accessibility on our websites.

[33:24] and hopefully we'll be rolling that out within the next probably six to eight weeks.

[33:31] That will be a lot easier and a lot more familiar.

[33:34] We're making it to where people can be able to pay online,

[33:38] submit all types of forms online so they don't have to come to the office if they don't want to.

[33:42] So we're trying to make it very easy that way.

[33:45] We talked about all the vehicles that we currently have on order.

[33:49] you guys can help jump in on this one Nick you want to talk about that so in

[33:56] addition to the engines everybody ordered and we ordered six new amulets

[34:02] there about a 28-month build-out so we started that process in May 24 sign

[34:09] for went through the whole process and then I've gone through a company and

[34:14] side in September and the last update that I got on that was we'll get two

[34:20] ambulances in January this year, two ambulances in February, excuse me, January next year,

[34:26] I apologize, February next year and then one ambulance in March and I deal with

[34:33] those is we're gonna spend a little bit more on those and I anticipate getting

[34:38] being able to re-mount those ambulances on a different chassis about three times and a lot of them are not better.

[34:47] And then so that gives us about 16 ambulances.

[34:51] We're going to decide on what happens when we phase out, probably about two of them will have to get rid of.

[35:03] Thank you so tune January 27th, February 27th, 1 in March 27th, you said we have six home

[35:11] order.

[35:12] Thank you.

[35:12] Four, five.

[35:13] Excuse me.

[35:14] On this one.

[35:16] I think it did three in February.

[35:19] Oh, you're right.

[35:20] Okay.

[35:21] So I.

[35:21] Yeah.

[35:21] Three in February.

[35:22] Yeah.

[35:23] One in January.

[35:25] Three in February.

[35:26] One in March.

[35:28] Well, we're on that subject.

[35:30] So we might as well just keep pounding away on the vehicles.

[35:32] Cool.

[35:33] How many ambulance are frontline?

[35:35] And so right now we have to play.

[35:38] No way.

[35:39] Well, no excuse me.

[35:40] Front line first out.

[35:41] I have six.

[35:42] So six.

[35:43] Yeah.

[35:43] Patience.

[35:45] Yes.

[35:45] Yeah.

[35:46] We are double stacked.

[35:48] I mean, the way that we work them.

[35:49] So obviously we run three on the engine two on the bus.

[35:51] Right.

[35:51] Sorry.

[35:52] Ambulance.

[35:54] And that second out.

[35:56] Ambulance.

[35:57] Every station has a second out ambulance.

[35:58] that we could bounce off the engine if we have to into that.

[36:03] And then we have a couple that we use specifically just for standby events.

[36:09] And those are kind of our older ones that are getting beat up that we don't necessarily read.

[36:13] We can tell you that we run the wheels off these things.

[36:16] Our two newest ones are 2022's, I believe.

[36:21] They're both pushing 90,000 miles right now.

[36:24] our next ones are 2019's and they both have over 180,000 miles on them. We

[36:30] won't even talk about the older ones after that. So, we're just once again

[36:34] just trying to get kind of the nose.

[36:39] When you mentioned the three remounts of

[36:42] her life, so what will life be of these new abilities and total years with us

[36:47] remand? So, we're probably looking close to 10, at least 10 years. Yeah, the

[36:52] remote, hopefully we're going to cross our fingers.

[36:57] With the discussion of the new vehicles, the new question is what are you going to do with

[37:01] our old ones, right?

[37:03] So back in 2018, the early fire district board passed a rule that at first half vehicles

[37:09] after 70,000 miles that we strongly look at selling them or so-plusing them because we

[37:14] do get a return at that mileage that we is favorable for the district.

[37:18] So we currently have three F-150 staff trucks that were previously in our administrative fleet,

[37:24] such as the tallying, chiefs, inspectors, etc.

[37:27] And those are up for sale right now as we speak.

[37:30] We're asking right around the 20 to 23,000 range.

[37:33] So if there's anybody in your municipalities, if you have a department that's looking for

[37:37] a used truck, they have a camper shell, they have a slide out rack for the bed, which we

[37:41] use for tactical purposes to be able to access our equipment.

[37:44] So they're really nice trucks.

[37:46] They still have some wife left in them and that's three of the of the trucks that we're surplusing. We have another

[37:54] 1995 type 3 one bumper truck that's currently staged and one of our other stations that

[37:59] 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

[38:07] Popular surplus market that we've had good luck with getting good values back on our sales

[38:14] We also have one two thousand four to four fifty. This one came out of

[38:19] spring nail when we took over that station. It's it was basically a utility

[38:24] truck that they converted into a lighten air. It kind of responded for their

[38:28] robust use and technical rescue stuff. We still have that in service as of

[38:32] today, but we're looking to surplus that to allow us to move into the heavy

[38:38] rescue side of things. This just doesn't have the room that we need. And so this is

[38:43] 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

[38:48] 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

[38:55] truck particular comes with very light mileage and usage it's still a very good shape so we're pretty confident we can

[39:02] 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

[39:11] plus, but the big engine stuff we have, engine 49, which is a 2001 bumper,

[39:16] Chief Decker mentioned this earlier. Again, we're reaching that time when

[39:20] manufacturers such as peers say, hey, you know what? We understand that the

[39:25] outrigger module on that truck is bad. You can't get your outriggers out, but we

[39:29] don't make a module anymore to make that system function. So now we're stuck with a

[39:34] vehicle that we can't get repairs made for. So that's an ongoing issue and we're

[39:40] We're also going to designate some of those trucks, so we've also identified the, hey,

[39:44] this one may be getting older but it would make a really good training engine so that

[39:48] we can put it at the training facility, be able to pull hose, day in and day out, train

[39:52] the new recruits, et cetera.

[39:53] So we're really excited to get some of those things moving and moving around and get some

[39:58] new vehicles in as well.

[40:00] That's all I have.

[40:01] And I know we're throwing a lot of information guys, so if we get going too much, please let

[40:05] us know.

[40:19] So, we're moving into the technical rescue teams, right?

[40:24] We're starting to develop.

[40:25] We've got swift water people, high angle, low angle, trench rest.

[40:29] You can find space.

[40:29] We're looking to branch into those categories because we have partners in

[40:34] the St. George and Cedar City that can do that,

[40:35] but it's all about time, right?

[40:37] If you're caught in a trench rescue, it's about time.

[40:41] So we're moving into that.

[40:42] Our current heavy rescue is of decent size,

[40:45] but it does not allow all of our equipment to fit in there.

[40:48] And speaking with other departments in the state

[40:50] that have purchased brand new heavy rescues,

[40:52] they're anywhere from $1.2 million to build a nice truck

[40:57] that will last you that particular, you know,

[40:59] for 20-something years.

[41:01] One of the departments have noticed

[41:02] that bought a new heavy rescue had one that I've always loved and admired and we went up and

[41:08] looked at it and it actually became available for us specifically at first if we wanted it

[41:14] for a fraction of the cost and so they said hey give us a fair value you know tell us what

[41:26] you guys will pay for it if we looked at it we tried to find some parables but it's hard to do

[41:30] because it's such a special rig. So we said, hey, you know, based on what we could find,

[41:34] we're going to offer you $50,000 and they snatched it right up. And this is a truck that has

[41:41] insanely low miles. It is so clean and well maintained and taken care of. And we're very excited

[41:46] to bring it home, get it painted and decal up and have it represent the district on some of these

[41:52] major incidents. So we're pretty excited about it. We're doing our best to save tax dollars everywhere we can.

[42:06] I felt bad enough to shoot 50 out of them, but hey, it's been good, so.

[42:19] Absolutely,

[42:23] we do.

[42:23] That's a really good question.

[42:24] And Randy, I was actually on my list to talk about too.

[42:28] So right now, just to kind of quench your thirst

[42:33] on that question, we have 39 hazmat technicians

[42:35] in our district, which is huge.

[42:37] We actually have the most in southern Utah

[42:40] for hazmat technicians.

[42:42] Currently, we have 33 rope technicians,

[42:44] so high angle, low angle, and that's really important

[42:47] for another topic that we'll discuss later.

[42:49] And we also have 11 water technicians.

[42:52] So keep in mind, that's just the tip of the iceberg,

[42:54] We still have trench flaps. We still have confined space. We still have urban search

[42:59] and rescue to be able to find people in rumble piles, which we have a cool opportunity

[43:04] coming our way with one of the firefighters that we recently picked up.

[43:08] And so, yeah, just, again, we're just dipping our toes in the water.

[43:12] It's essential, isn't it?

[43:15] You incorporate auto-explications into them.

[43:20] Yes, everybody is extrication trained on the floor and that's part of one of the things

[43:25] in our firefighter one and two packets so you come out with that basic knowledge but

[43:29] our wonderful battalion chief overtraining Matt Butterfield organizes training throughout

[43:35] the year.

[43:35] We'll actually go to a salvage yard and they open it up and say here's the cars you can

[43:40] cut.

[43:41] We flip them, roll them, smash them, make them so that it's complicated, it's just not

[43:45] an easy day at the yard cutting things up and it's designed to you know make

[43:50] you think outside the box because not everything's the same and I'll tell you

[43:53] right now cutting apart a heavy tractor trailer or semi-truck or a school bus

[43:57] is not easy those things are reinforced they're big clunky so getting that

[44:02] experience is priceless and that's what we're looking to do well we have had a

[44:10] couple of different things the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy puts on a

[44:14] summer fire school in Cedar. Well, they do that any more. Summer? Yeah. They do

[44:19] regional stuff. Oh, regional stuff. Yeah. And there's a Southwood

[44:23] Jordan Cedar city and those folks are very resourceful and they have six or

[44:27] seven buses up there that they'll they'll line up and they just you just go down

[44:30] the line. We've had time. We cut apart a semi-truck box van, you know, that they

[44:36] that pulls behind a semi-truck. So you really get to see what it's all about and

[44:41] And now we're moving into electric vehicles.

[44:43] So we're also positioning our training towards lithium-ion batteries, design a national

[44:48] part, brought us out and said, hey, we want you guys to come to this training.

[44:51] We want you to learn about our buses, how we charge them, how they operate, how to shut them

[44:56] off, and then what to do if something catches on fire.

[44:58] So, we're always...

[45:00] Is fine-tuning our knowledge and skills? It's pretty cool. And as you develop your auto-exercification

[45:06] skills, would that be something like if you had a more advanced type of education accident

[45:13] or that would be falling on the heavy rescue guys having more training in order to add more

[45:18] tools, possibly? Yeah. So I think as we fine-tune our direction, we're going to have those

[45:26] those technicians that are especially areas of extrication.

[45:31] Right now, we're just not quite there yet,

[45:34] so everybody's got that basic knowledge,

[45:36] but we do have people on the department

[45:37] that bring in, you know, 20 plus years of experience,

[45:40] so it's, you know, it's pretty good.

[45:42] Yeah.

[45:44] My concern would be, I love to type all the text

[45:48] that we have, the technician, the training.

[45:51] Are we going to get poached?

[45:52] Is this individual going to get poached?

[45:54] You know, what are we doing for retention?

[45:57] I could probably answer that for you on the next subject.

[46:01] We have transitioned, our organization has transitioned

[46:05] over the last couple of years to where we're poaching people.

[46:10] It's our last testing process.

[46:13] We did.

[46:13] We had some full-time people.

[46:15] The caliber of people that we are now starting to pull

[46:20] is we hired a 12-year, I think he's a 12-year career firefighter from Salt Lake City,

[46:28] lives in Levergan. He's on Utah Task Force 1, so he is Big Sussar. He has a

[46:35] life-set dog that is coming with him as part to be part of our organization.

[46:48] And

[46:49] It's I think we're doing something right in that direction. Our retention is

[46:56] our retention is completely kind of did this flop. A couple of years ago we were

[47:01] losing. We're at a point now where people are wanting to come to us. You know

[47:05] obviously the end of last year we did some wage corrections. That helps but

[47:10] culture is huge and if people like coming to work and enjoy coming to work,

[47:20] Yeah, I mean, our last testing process, yeah, I think we tested almost 40 people.

[47:26] I think we had way over that in applications.

[47:29] I think we had 70, 80 applications.

[47:31] 30 people away.

[47:33] Yeah.

[47:34] Yeah.

[47:34] That point.

[47:36] Yeah, go ahead.

[47:38] 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.

[47:45] right now starting as a critical care paramedic.

[47:49] So all of our firefighters are either paramedics

[47:52] or EMTs, but an additional training

[47:56] that we can do and provide for is critical care.

[48:00] It's just that much more training

[48:04] and that's much more stuff that we can offer for them

[48:06] so they can do some invasive stuff

[48:08] as they transport people along distances,

[48:10] is generally what happens with that.

[48:12] that. And it requires more training on their part. It's about a hundred hours total that

[48:20] they have to get every two years. Paramedics have to do 60 hours. The critical care paramedics

[48:27] will have to do in addition to the hours on specific stuff. So those types of things

[48:33] brings people, they like that type. Everybody likes that type of stuff.

[48:37] Are we using Dixie Tech training?

[48:39] We are using, well, we're kind of hogfogging.

[48:43] So, paramedic right now goes to SWATC because Dixie Tech does not do paramedic yet.

[48:48] Okay.

[48:48] They're doing AMT.

[48:49] They're doing AMT and they just started their fire program, which we've been involved with.

[48:54] So we, yeah.

[48:58] You mentioned 39 guys has them out, is there a designated hazmat company, or is it just

[49:04] so they just come?

[49:05] Yeah.

[49:05] 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

[49:14] Filks, so they might have to come from different stations in order to get yeah to get that team together, so

[49:21] Okay, we'll just go

[49:27] So since I've been put in this position, I feel like I've dealt with a sales person like the whole time

[49:35] So, one of those things I've had to deal with recently is monitor.

[49:40] So, back in 2020 we got a whole bunch of monitors, our EKG monitors, ones we'll be used

[49:47] for, we've got a little service.

[49:49] We got that, purchased through COVID money, CARES Act, we got a, we had the most monitors

[49:57] in the area out of any of the departments and in the area, well after a whole bunch of

[50:04] recalls and just problems that we've had with that monitor, FDA and Philips and cell

[50:10] for the longer support that monitor so we have approximately two years to get rid of those

[50:16] and replace them. So I've been dealing with cell reps and we just recently decided to go with

[50:23] life pack and we will be purchasing 16 monitors from that to replace and we have

[50:31] some. At a pretty significant cost I didn't actually get that numbers. Those are for the

[50:39] ambulances and the fire companies. Just the ambulance.

[50:45] We don't have as much

[50:47] stuff on the ambulance. First we have the engines.

[50:54] They're in the facts not

[50:55] of the front and the monitors.

[50:58] We're not like the police.

[51:00] No, these are our cardiac monitors we use for.

[51:04] They are 12 leads so we can see cardiac rhythms

[51:07] and they also are our defibrillators.

[51:11] They're not cheap.

[51:12] The engines are different.

[51:14] We, so most of the time we have,

[51:17] they have a tempest, which is if they keep going,

[51:19] which are our old ones right now.

[51:21] And we're gonna cycle through those

[51:23] until they don't work anymore.

[51:26] And then they'll probably just have AEDs put back on them.

[51:29] So, okay, what else we got here?

[51:34] Nick, do you have anything else on yours?

[51:36] We did talk a little bit before about the buildings

[51:40] and we're going through building new buildings,

[51:42] but we've also been way behind taking care

[51:45] of the current buildings that we have.

[51:47] So we've spent a lot of time, a lot of money updating.

[51:51] And currently the day we have replaced the roof at station 41 to some inside your modeling as well.

[51:58] And then we're just going to keep moving on to the other station so we can keep up on that.

[52:04] I can find that too.

[52:09] 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.

[52:19] We've tried to come up with our own brand, our own style, our own way to professionally

[52:24] represent the department and the people that pay tax dollars into the fire district.

[52:31] And so one of the things we've done is we designated science for each one of our buildings

[52:35] to represent what we are who we are and also a station number.

[52:39] Every single building that we have aside from urgent at this point and leads will be done

[52:46] hopefully by next week is you'll see our department logo which is our

[52:50] fact that you see on our uniforms as well as the number that designates the

[52:56] station and I personally have heard a really good feedback from the community

[53:00] because they love to see that all you know people always want to do it was a

[53:04] fire station but they never knew which one so it's kind of nice to be able to have

[53:08] that that's a face to the name and in sorts so let's been really good that

[53:13] way.

[53:17] I know we're running out of time. Give you guys some stats real quick, just so you guys know

[53:25] for the current year where we're hanging about 15% call volume increase over last year.

[53:32] So we're averaging more. Just so you guys have last year we ended up 12% over the year before,

[53:39] the year before we were 27% over the year before that. So I just tell you the growth that we're dealing

[53:45] with in in call volumes and it's not slowing down so that that's some good

[53:51] good information there. The we part of our wildland crew is already on

[53:59] assignment and say deployment thank you. They're in the brasker right now looks

[54:04] like they're probably going to do it a full two weeks if I had to guess out there

[54:07] and maybe get extended the way it's going. So wildland season is upon us even

[54:13] even though it's only March.

[54:14] I am a little scared of this year,

[54:17] what it's going to bring here,

[54:18] but we're gonna find out now.

[54:20] That is, the question always comes up.

[54:23] If we're on assignment,

[54:24] do we have the coverage here?

[54:25] Yes, we do.

[54:26] We will never shortchange the district

[54:30] to send people out in the country.

[54:32] So go on that one.

[54:34] Let's see.

[54:36] We talked about BC Harman.

[54:39] Then if you guys have any, you know,

[54:41] need help with any fuel mitigation projects,

[54:43] or you want to talk about Willie Code, which we all love talking about, we shoved down

[54:47] all of our throats last year. He is available, and we'll be glad to, we're here to help,

[54:56] your municipalities work through those processes. We're going to help you.

[54:59] We didn't come up, spring dealing is a really good program for this.

[55:03] Answering me if you had a deal with the residents.

[55:08] So we appreciate the deal.

[55:10] Part of what he's doing is a program that we're, I think, done with.

[55:16] We've stood up.

[55:17] It's called REMS.

[55:19] It's the rapid extraction modules for not just wild land deployments,

[55:27] but they are full-blown FEMA deployments in the whole country.

[55:31] So basically, they're a small group of core people.

[55:34] There's four of them involved that they are the rescue team for the rescuers, if that

[55:39] makes sense.

[55:39] So if something happens to firefighters a while and they're the ones who go in and pull

[55:43] them out, they're in a FEMA thing.

[55:46] They're there to protect the people that are doing the rescuers.

[55:49] So that program is stood up and looking probably, I bet, be on its first assignment in April

[55:56] if I had to guess. So, and those are all good revenue sources for us. Offset the budget.

[56:06] It's been great. Last two things I've got are they kind of tied together. There are standby

[56:13] events that we have and our community outreach that we're doing. And, Cole, do you want to jump on those?

[56:19] Yeah. So, community outreach was something that was something we thought of that we're like,

[56:25] But how can we get more involved in the community?

[56:28] Kids obviously love us, which I know the cops hate that,

[56:32] but we do pride ourselves in being

[56:35] liked by the community, and I say that to fun.

[56:38] But because Nick is a copter, please

[56:41] also.

[56:43] But one of the things we wanted to do

[56:45] is how do we further engage the community?

[56:47] And that includes everybody that we represent here

[56:49] within the district.

[56:50] So we picked up a enclosed trailer.

[56:53] We have a decal out, we have tables and chairs, we have things to set up, we can roll out

[57:00] carbon there to respond to medical situations at an event and it's really becoming a hit.

[57:07] We have a smoke trailer that it looks like a camp trailer, it's incredibly long if you

[57:12] oversee it, it'll be like that thing keeps going but it has the ability to have fake smoke

[57:18] it teaches kids how to crawl up and smoke, how to fuel the door for what smoke

[57:23] detector sound like. It teaches kitchen safety around a hot stove. It teaches you

[57:29] know I think it goes on and on and on and then you get a crawl out the window at

[57:33] the end and every kid that I've ever seen other than the ones that are

[57:35] definitely afraid of it have a big smile on their face and they're so happy. So you'll

[57:40] see that on a rollout like last year we had it at Peach Days we're gonna put it

[57:44] that Matt's offering recovery, it's actually there now

[57:47] and we'll start working that tomorrow.

[57:49] One of the things that kind of ties into this

[57:51] is we're trying to roll the community outreach

[57:54] into our special events.

[57:56] And for those of you that don't know,

[57:59] we do stand by us for fire and AMS for special events

[58:02] within the district.

[58:03] And this is the Mecca for special events.

[58:06] So I remember that designation.

[58:08] And we, or I think we're up to about 27 events every year.

[58:12] I don't have an hourly total of how many hours we spend on those events, but there are

[58:17] a lot of man hours that go into staffing those, preparing for them.

[58:21] But we don't want to just essentially sit there with our bags ready to go.

[58:25] We want to engage the public, and so we're trying to tie this community outreach in.

[58:28] And you'll see this at Maths Offerow Games, Peach Days, the Easter Car Show, we'll have it there.

[58:33] We also do a public safety chili cook-off.

[58:36] The burn house may not be there for that because it's limited space, but that's where you'll

[58:39] to see the community outreach people there,

[58:41] interacting with the public.

[58:43] Our big personal favorite, that's something

[58:47] that's near and dear to us as Patriots today, 911.

[58:49] You've seen the flag being raised in town.

[58:52] We try to do something there for community

[58:54] and that's a huge thing for our community outreach.

[58:57] UTV takeover is also huge.

[59:00] And Washington County, Ferro Roeo, and last but not least,

[59:04] Green, Colobb days.

[59:05] Hi, how are you guys doing?

[59:08] We love being there and we love interacting with people and I think it's really

[59:13] helped us build good relationships and you know positive ones with community

[59:17] members so. And piggybacking on that if you guys have any events in your

[59:20] communities that are kind of those street fairs things like that please let us

[59:24] know we want to branch into every community that we cover and be part of that so

[59:29] anything we can do even if it's not we don't bring the smokehouse we come set up

[59:32] our tent and do simple first-aid treating or blood pressure checks or whatever it is.

[59:40] We're really big on that community involvement.

[59:42] So, on the community outreach, not really on standbys, absolutely, standbys pay for

[59:51] themself.

[59:52] So, that is the one thing that we have a good fee schedule that's tied with that.

[59:58] and if they need to have it in.

[1:00:00] 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,

[1:00:29] with our responders, even people that aren't responders.

[1:00:32] And so one of the things we want to do is make sure

[1:00:34] that our people are 100% as good to go as they can be.

[1:00:38] And sometimes you're dealing with things that happen at home.

[1:00:40] And sometimes you're dealing with things that happen to work

[1:00:43] and the two firefighters you saw in here today,

[1:00:45] actually, you went on a really traumatic call two shifts ago.

[1:00:49] And so we had the opportunity to use this program

[1:00:53] and I'm about to describe to you.

[1:00:55] So we were mandated by the state to set up a mental health group.

[1:00:58] group. We have a captain, some staff members as well, in this group along with firefighters

[1:01:05] and we created a peer support team. So when a call goes out that has, you know, potentially

[1:01:10] traumatic defense to our responders, we will reach out to them after the call. We pay

[1:01:15] them a visit, shake their hand, ask them if they need anything. Sometimes that involves sitting

[1:01:19] galloping by the dinner table, taking a break, we'll brown the station out to allow them

[1:01:23] to decompress for just a second, we talk about what's going on, we talk about what's

[1:01:30] going on and you know if they're affected by it and if there is reason, we call the

[1:01:36] state CISM team, critical incident stress management is what that stands for and they come

[1:01:41] down and they'll set up a group like in this room and we have a big round table or a circle

[1:01:45] of chairs and we actually get those feelings out, we talk about things and trust me if you've

[1:01:50] been a part of one of those extremely emotional but beneficial. We have 10

[1:01:55] members in that program and I think it is doing well. We have sent out a

[1:02:00] monthly newsletter and we're proud to announce we're going to hold our first

[1:02:04] family mental health awareness night in April in which you guys are all invited

[1:02:09] to. If you'd like to attend we would love to have you. We're going to have our

[1:02:13] medical control doctor Dr. Crosby. We're going to have a dietitian as well as a

[1:02:17] mental health professional to help talk about some of the things that

[1:02:20] loom in our career and how we can best deal with that. Spouses are also

[1:02:24] invited because well they get to deal with that too. So we're doing our best

[1:02:29] to make sure that our people are squared away and that they feel loved and taking

[1:02:32] care of some. When does something? April 16th. And we're not a hundred percent

[1:02:39] 16, 16, 16, 16. We're not a hundred percent sure on start time yet but it'll

[1:02:43] be in the evening. There's a the mental health coordinator is associated with the district

[1:02:54] specific program or there within the state they just show up. So we have a group that

[1:03:00] we pay for it's called vest. Invest is it's a contracted company they have mental health

[1:03:06] professionals that have come and trained our peer support group right so we're not just

[1:03:09] wing in it, we want to make sure we're handling things

[1:03:12] tactfully and with Cooth, but they train us and then if

[1:03:16] something is outside our reach or beyond our our ability, we

[1:03:20] know when to to phone for help call friend and then we get a

[1:03:24] whole of the state CISN team and they have somebody that

[1:03:27] answers the phone all the time because it goes through the

[1:03:30] dispatch center up Salt Lake and they just start making calls

[1:03:33] getting a team set up usually within 24 to 48 hours.

[1:03:36] you can have them down here and meeting with crews and starting that first step in the process.

[1:03:43] I hope that answered your question.

[1:03:46] Thank you.

[1:03:50] The only other thing I just kind of wanted to briefly mention is I'm in charge of consumables

[1:03:55] and like PPE and stuff like that for the fire fighters, just I just wanted to let you know

[1:04:04] the work constantly going through different vendors, trying to figure out what is best for

[1:04:09] the taxpayers and also for our district. So, what was being made during this year's

[1:04:14] work? What kind of stuff was that money?

[1:04:18] That's my list. For those who are new, I

[1:04:24] failed to introduce everybody, but Mel is on the end. Mel is actually our district clerk.

[1:04:28] So same as like I said you recorder

[1:04:32] Megan is our HR director our treasurer and the office manager

[1:04:38] She rooms every office and she is the real boss. So they tell everybody

[1:04:42] She keeps us together. Um, she furly, she fright our legal counsel Ben

[1:04:49] Hopefully you guys know who I am by now

[1:04:52] but

[1:04:53] I will make myself available to anybody on the board at any time

[1:04:57] 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

[1:05:05] 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

[1:05:11] If I'm not around these two are right there behind me

[1:05:14] So don't ever hesitate to call email text me

[1:05:19] Randy does it all the time seem to be hanging from the rafters in my garage when he calls, but it always happens

[1:05:26] But I can't say that enough or there were an open line of communication or there for anything you guys

[1:05:33] might need.

[1:05:37] Okay.

[1:05:39] Do we want to go into a closed session to talk about legal stuff?

[1:05:43] I think it's a few minutes, I think if you do the problem, you can get that deal.

[1:05:47] Okay.

[1:05:48] So we need to have a vote to go into a closed session.

[1:05:52] We're going to a close session, this is just pending litigation.
