[0:00] Okay.
[0:04] Board meeting for August 19th, 2026, 5 o'clock at the Oakley station. It's 513, starting now, sorry. First thing on review minutes for the July 15 regular meeting session. We're able to look at the meetings here to do. Yeah, I reviewed the meeting minutes.
[0:31] and that will be the
[0:40] july 17th and 15th.
[0:45] 15th and 15th.
[0:45] 15th and 16th.
[0:46] The jury will be nice.
[0:48] Perfect.
[0:49] All in favor say aye.
[0:50] Aye.
[0:51] Any opposed?
[0:52] No, the second one?
[0:53] I guess I'll have to second that one.
[0:55] Okay, so we have a second now.
[0:58] I'll second that.
[0:59] Now we'll hold it.
[1:00] All in favor say aye.
[1:01] Aye.
[1:02] No poses.
[1:02] on the minutes. Review finance. Is there anything on the finances that I look
[1:11] through that thing and I'm saying to me drastically?
[1:17] I just have a couple of
[1:18] things I just want to make me aware of.
[1:22] The guys that went that deployed on the
[1:24] fire damage field. We paid for the Montauberns on a credit card. They overcharged
[1:32] just for one night at the Comfort Inn in Richfield, and they overtar just six nights at the one-in film
[1:40] work. So I'm trying to get that all cleaned up and strengthen out. And between July and August
[1:49] and August, we paid $2,228 in fees
[1:58] to the American Heart Association to the UDOA,
[2:05] So the American Heart Association was all the cards, so I bought 30 cards of ACLS, of
[2:15] PALS, and BLS, and then some heart-saver community CPR cards, so they're all in bulk.
[2:24] I shouldn't have to buy that much for the next while, so we're stocked up a little bit.
[2:30] It's a hundred or twenty dollars to register people to pay the $8 million fee.
[2:37] $12 million.
[2:38] Of course.
[2:40] Of course.
[2:42] Of course.
[2:42] Well, so plus there's the state fee, so there's the total fee.
[2:47] Do
[2:50] I have about ten people's fee?
[2:51] The grant goes pretty fast.
[3:06] I have reviewed this latest document that I don't, I'm not aware of anything, but I'm still pretty sure that we're doing it.
[3:16] Yeah, I didn't see anything.
[3:19] that the payroll is up to date as of the last payroll, the last payroll that the pay
[3:23] didn't stay more than any payroll we've ever had, it was $70,000.
[3:28] We had more stand-up on all of the stuff that we've ever had.
[3:32] We had those guys starting on the employment that we had.
[3:35] So we'll be reimbursed for much of that.
[3:40] So much of the growth in that part of the body.
[3:45] That would be good.
[3:46] And we've already built what did you tell me in a day about $30,000 worth of my marshals
[3:53] so far this year.
[3:53] And really, we had about 50 last year and that was on August 3rd of the year, so hopefully
[4:00] they stay down for a while.
[4:02] They told me that if it didn't get 4 or 5 seasons, it's really, it's a weird business.
[4:11] It's a really weird business.
[4:12] They've been a little more cautious about spending money this season and they're making us
[4:20] DPLs and things.
[4:24] Well, and the other thing like I noticed was is like we've, and we're only a little over
[4:31] half way, but like we've already bring in what we calculated to bring in residential fees,
[4:39] almost that in commercial fees. How's our the company doing with the
[4:49] ambulance stuff? I mean it seems to be working. Yeah we had a little blitch in
[4:54] electronic things so we lost some data which has been picked back up so the
[4:59] collections are down to the last time. But they're their collections are higher.
[5:05] There were almost $1,000 for the year already, so that's with missing out of most of June
[5:15] and in some July everyone was in the month couple of days, trying to pick that back up.
[5:21] But it wasn't getting up over to it for some reason.
[5:25] So can you tell me when I go in those reports to see if they've got all the information that
[5:31] I need them to have them there.
[5:32] And it doesn't validate an emphasis.
[5:35] What happens with those reports
[5:37] if you don't come back in a valid and they're not uploaded?
[5:39] The emphasis warnings have to be done,
[5:42] take care from the state.
[5:44] So they have, all the brown warnings have to be done.
[5:46] And that's a compliance measure.
[5:49] That was what I mean.
[5:50] It was about earlier than that.
[5:52] The building doesn't have anything to do with an emphasis.
[5:55] Right.
[5:56] But we have, well, like, that one we,
[5:59] and have more than half of them that have an emphasis on the value.
[6:05] So I just make especially 17 to the captures and say these are validating.
[6:10] I report your last month from the state of the zero.
[6:14] Yeah, that's because there's a lot of, the one that was on 720 still has a value.
[6:21] And I find when I hit on sending in for billing, because it's the national EMS information
[6:29] system is looking to understand where it's data collection, but it's so worth.
[6:36] So every piece here has all the other things that you can do.
[6:38] They have a way that they have to do it.
[6:41] And if they go down and answer one question before they answer another one, it won't validate.
[6:45] If they go in, after they've already opened it up and they shut it and come back in to open it up again,
[6:52] it will default to the time and day that they open it up instead of the time and day that they've been in there.
[6:57] That's a problem, that's a problem.
[6:59] I don't know, who needs to fix that, but yeah, that's good.
[7:02] But they need to finish it.
[7:03] The first two problems.
[7:04] They need to finish it that day, but it fixes that problem.
[7:07] Yeah, it's a high-tech person.
[7:08] Oh, I didn't finish it, I didn't know.
[7:10] I can't progress today.
[7:12] Can't leave it to the after-bit diaper here, so help.
[7:17] All right, so let's see here.
[7:21] Do you need finances?
[7:23] I just put those D and I in there.
[7:26] their deposit is probably the deposit they have spent before it that I have to do to the state
[7:30] I think it's time for us to just see compare what we had six months ago compared to what we have as far as total
[7:39] Assets and cash assets
[7:45] Public comments look like we have zero public comment up to me
[7:54] So I'll make a motion to accept the finances for August 26th, and I'll second that.
[8:09] All in favor, say aye.
[8:11] Aye.
[8:11] Any opposed?
[8:13] No opposed.
[8:14] No further on that path.
[8:17] So public need to comment. There's nothing. District businesses, policy and procedure.
[8:24] Oh, it seems a procedure. We haven't forwarded any this meeting because all those folks have been in officers school.
[8:34] They've completed that.
[8:35] So, next we need to have our policy.
[8:39] There's a little busy.
[8:43] And I invited Darren to come and give us a report on the status of the landscape in the
[8:47] asshole.
[8:49] And this is what we got.
[8:51] Yeah, Darren.
[8:57] This is the new cooking buildout for barbecue.
[9:02] Oh, I just wanted to tell you.
[9:03] That was the...
[9:04] Yeah, Darren.
[9:06] That's Darren.
[9:06] You looked at it.
[9:07] It's back behind the generator.
[9:08] He didn't really reach out to the place with the best fit for barbecues and being out of the sun and
[9:14] It was nice. He went about some
[9:17] trucks
[9:18] I'm going to start. Yeah
[9:21] You used that existing
[9:24] freestanding on and
[9:27] Just don't play a Sam Garfield. Hopefully they leave us a cigarette for now. We got filled in stations in
[9:34] I get called back to the station because the plastic beds was off fire
[9:38] the generator on fire, what was that? Okay, so the landstaking he's not here.
[9:47] Fire TV, it's all
[9:48] you to report on. You want to go to first jet team? Oh yeah, for Canada. Give us the
[9:56] word, Jackson. Cool. So we extremely busy from my side of things. Oh, I have, yeah. Two
[10:08] food truck inspections for overnight rental inspections, 13 new residential
[10:13] clearances, one new commercial business that I approved, a total of 23 inspections
[10:23] I went on this month, one new Knoxbox application, completed four propane
[10:32] Clarence's six sprinkler reforms, seven exempt, that was what we got.
[10:42] Completed frontier woodworks, they're up and down.
[10:46] Yeah, it looks good over there.
[10:47] They have some pretty good, they have a good FDC hooked up and fire sprinkled so it's a pretty awesome building.
[10:56] and probably take the crew over there and just show them the FDC and deal with a pre-plan on it.
[11:04] Inspec to the first six rooms it's not the hotel, it's the hotel but it's the other side so it's the...
[11:13] It's a pretty interesting room.
[11:15] And they passed their 4-way on the first six minutes up there.
[11:24] Yeah, and then mountainside randles up here off 248 they're done with their first seven
[11:34] storage units. I need to still do a final inspection on the main building. They have living
[11:40] quarters above so I have to do a sprinkle inspection on it and they didn't have quite the
[11:43] pressure for the sprinkler systems that are putting a pump in their tank to boost the pressure
[11:52] and I'll finish those guys out. Lots of maintenance stuff, everything's been breaking so that's
[12:00] why I'm not in uniform today. Oh yeah, did the mechanic get a hold of you guys? Yeah, yeah. Dallas? Yeah. Oh yeah, he called me.
[12:09] I think it's back home.
[12:10] It's like, do you know?
[12:12] I think it looks like Jackson.
[12:13] He called me.
[12:14] I don't know.
[12:15] I didn't say anything.
[12:16] The Dallas.
[12:17] So what have we had?
[12:18] That's when?
[12:19] How was it?
[12:20] I think it was 43.
[12:22] Oh, fine.
[12:23] It's called the Dallas.
[12:24] I think it was 43.
[12:25] The inverter is probably to put.
[12:28] I went through that today trying to figure it out.
[12:31] I called down to the people I bought the inverter from.
[12:34] And they're pretty certain it's all up to buy the new inverter.
[12:38] that's looking like $1,500 or a man.
[12:41] Brush 641, it's a deaf issue, emissions.
[12:46] So the codes I was getting for was for the deaf tank heater.
[12:52] But apparently, it makes a lot more than that.
[12:56] So he was able to put the new deaf tank heater in
[13:01] and clear the codes, the filter was pretty plugged up.
[13:05] I guess when it has an error code, it doesn't flow correctly, so it plugged up the filter
[13:13] and it exhausts.
[13:16] It's because it doesn't get enough long highway heat-up use.
[13:23] Can we bypass that?
[13:24] Yeah, we can.
[13:26] You can talk about that later, but yeah.
[13:28] We can't.
[13:29] We bypass that on our testimony.
[13:31] You can't delete it.
[13:32] I talked to him about today.
[13:33] And he's like I don't know how come to bottom with this is like apparently the federal government has a forum for you guys
[13:42] But I don't know how to work on appointments so if you're deployed out type six it has to have all the
[13:52] Come on
[13:56] So I take it back to him and he's looking at the turbo now
[14:03] if that can be the issue. It's just really, it's really just like the one that goes in with
[14:10] mode half of all the way. Well, it will go in with mode if not as often now, but just
[14:17] sometimes with that depth system, if it starts to get locked up, it throws a little monkey
[14:24] he ranch in it and puts it in kind of a limb.
[14:29] So I just got to him to say.
[14:31] I took it back to him today and which, by the way, he's awesome.
[14:37] He's the other way.
[14:38] I told him that we got fires going in this relay.
[14:41] And so he's been awesome with this.
[14:44] The tiller had a pressure protection valve break.
[14:48] And that was a pain to find the correct size.
[14:51] I found it, it's in fix.
[14:55] Also there are very many cables under the motion.
[14:59] I know.
[15:00] I was covered in oil.
[15:05] That's fixed, but I still do need to get that. It does have fuel in the oil still, and still trying to get it on top of that, to find somebody that we can do that. I was going to take the valve cover off today and see what I could do, but I kind of want to believe it in service, until I figure out somebody that can work on it or something. Because I think it's a, it'll be exact.
[15:27] Do you know what's it? Do you know John Snyder if you're going to him?
[15:32] So he's a mechanic that's a mobile guy that lives down. I think in one ship or somewhere, but he used to be a big
[15:38] He used to work for like cat and one of those big Wheeler. He's a John Snyder
[15:44] And he's a cool dude because he come and help trade it like the old car running
[15:49] But he is a very smart guy. Sammy has Sammy's counsel. He has the mobile truck for Wheeler and
[15:55] And when we were at the parade last year in Camus, we had the killer, he said, no, something
[16:01] wrong with the killer.
[16:02] And I said, fuck, it goes to scut, something sticks in up with the fuel, you could tell
[16:07] by the color of the...
[16:08] All the exhaust.
[16:09] Yeah, by the color of the exhaust.
[16:10] And he said, I'll be glad to come and look at it and fix it, but I'm going, I don't think
[16:14] I'd better ask you because I want to...
[16:15] I call it a...
[16:16] I call Matt Thompson, who used to be around the trees in my mechanic, but he doesn't
[16:21] go back to me.
[16:22] Chad, we'll come and look at it if you want to.
[16:24] There you go.
[16:25] Uh, I give him a call and have him open.
[16:30] Yeah.
[16:30] Give us an estimate on what he thinks.
[16:33] Yeah.
[16:34] So what about us?
[16:36] Uh, yeah.
[16:38] Uh, the 2013 Tahoe.
[16:40] The power stand blew up at that time.
[16:43] To get under there and figure out what's going on.
[16:45] But that's another thing that's happened.
[16:47] It's lying in the old rig.
[16:51] I think I said you guys should have known about the had a bad tire, super single.
[16:56] They were $2,200 a piece.
[16:58] If I won, I did find one that tighter Lewis and Bryce Boyer have and Wandship and Larry
[17:07] was an awesome help on that.
[17:08] He went and got that tire and he placed it with that tire.
[17:13] So the rough tundra is good to go now and the only thing I could think of was I was already
[17:22] asking you guys in the mail. It's confirmed September 1st. We're moving from six execs to a five five X.
[17:29] So the community should get a three to five percent reduction in there.
[17:34] I need to calm my insurance.
[17:35] I'm not a taxi.
[17:36] And I'm a taxi driver.
[17:38] Would it be a heat box?
[17:40] No.
[17:41] I'm telling you that the fire department
[17:43] is just kind of better rating and better ASL rating.
[17:47] We'll say they average about 3.5%
[17:50] but it can be about 5%.
[17:52] It's really good.
[17:53] I'm going down which is that basically.
[17:56] You know,
[17:58] which was a tunnel work but it's done.
[18:01] Thank you.
[18:01] And Jackson did it.
[18:02] the time and we get some of them. That's an awesome job. She's going to work for another one
[18:10] between three and five years on O'Reilly. I'm going to watch how that goes. Manning and
[18:17] water supply and maintenance and all the stuff that's in that portfolio will work on.
[18:23] They give us good data, which before we go into the 100-pounder stage, it's nice.
[18:31] But a lot of the food trucks that use, or not the food trucks, but the overnight stays,
[18:36] do they have to be inspected for each stay, or do they just want for you as well?
[18:42] Yeah, there's a lot of these, there's a ton of them, so we're going to get signed next year,
[18:49] Yeah, I'd like to go do a inspection, I'm going to have fire extinguishers and smoke alarms working.
[18:57] Things like that, so you're either actually going to really get help doing the overnight rental inspections.
[19:07] that would be perfect if you could get some help in that real thing.
[19:11] And next year or even, I'm going to search for the help that we plan to give.
[19:17] Who's involved in any good information from Canada in the city?
[19:20] Is it Canada as well?
[19:21] It's starting to come from the inspection.
[19:24] So, the commercial business inspection is really not to shut anybody down.
[19:30] But just to let go and to see what's in there.
[19:33] And then when we adopted a few schedule adopted 15 months,
[19:37] how much were you going to do this?
[19:39] Well, and it's good for them because it gives them eyes
[19:43] on stuff that they may not be known for.
[19:45] Well, exactly.
[19:46] Well, it's crew familiarization.
[19:48] Is it important?
[19:49] Is anything else going to be true for yourself?
[19:52] How long is it?
[19:53] How do you expect you to do this?
[19:55] Yeah, hibernate food or low on eye cells?
[19:57] Oh, really?
[19:58] We need to figure that out.
[20:01] It's difficult because there are so many water companies that it's very difficult.
[20:06] And the water companies has supposedly been responsible for it.
[20:10] So we need to prove that piece of it.
[20:13] Because I know that I've said that for years and years and we started to go on training night
[20:20] yet, trying to get a different one from time to time.
[20:23] But there's high concerns around this valley that's never been opened.
[20:27] And I don't know what we can do.
[20:44] Yeah, that's what I mean like it's it's scary because one of these times
[20:47] when you're getting go on a house fire and book up and be like damn that's
[20:56] That's crazy. It's something that is really so where's the like a little idea that's sort of a city water company
[21:04] Yeah, they're yeah, they're ultimately responsible. Yeah, they're ultimately responsible
[21:09] But it's the black eye on us and you're on and you lose a house or something or other and it's city
[21:17] You'll pay the bill if we're going to get all the reasons.
[21:20] Why didn't you buy?
[21:22] These are responsibility and make sure that, you know,
[21:24] it's safe and available to each other.
[21:27] Well, last year, there's the other side of the coin too.
[21:29] I had them turning the hydrants in Oakley,
[21:32] and then I get a call from the Oakley Water Company saying,
[21:36] don't you guys are blowing lines and stuff?
[21:39] That's why they move the responsibility
[21:41] for the fire suppression water systems
[21:44] to this water company, so we don't screw it up.
[21:49] The water companies are not the cities.
[21:52] Well, if the city has their own water company,
[21:54] it's the city.
[21:55] But there's, I don't know, six or seven
[21:58] of the water companies is that.
[22:00] But then there's like all the little ones
[22:02] third, you might have a little team,
[22:07] who else would have any help?
[22:09] I didn't, I don't know, I think there's
[22:12] We're going to have to go for a transit area, two in campus, there's a tunnel, it's kind of weird.
[22:19] A whole one for the west side, it's just crazy, it's so weird.
[22:25] Cool, now we're on the football practice speech.
[22:27] You're out.
[22:28] Thanks guys.
[22:29] Thanks for having me.
[22:30] Thanks for having me.
[22:32] Doing good work, working hard, he's had a lot of other things going on in his life too, so thank you.
[22:37] Coleman family took a bit of it.
[22:39] Yeah, he did, Mr. Turner have a few things to do happen now.
[22:43] I'm going to come back after I'll back this and take care of him.
[22:47] Do you want me to get our mapper to say them there?
[22:49] Oh, no, I'll be back tonight.
[22:52] Stand for them around.
[22:54] Oh, thanks, guys, please.
[22:55] Thanks, guys.
[22:56] Thank you.
[22:56] See you.
[22:59] Go through my report real quick.
[23:02] Yeah, that's all right.
[23:03] Yeah, Fire Chief report.
[23:04] Give us a run now.
[23:08] We'll be done, not this weekend, but next weekend.
[23:13] And then we'll start right into firefighter 2.
[23:15] We lost one recruit who wasn't performing mostly just because you've lighted.
[23:20] So we're down to 12, but we still have 12 recruits in our recruit class.
[23:28] AMP, I told you the last time that they had finished Ashley passed on her first attempt.
[23:35] So, Apertune is all advanced in T's meta.
[23:40] Yeah, and the others have all got their tests scheduled,
[23:44] except for one, I think.
[23:47] ISO, we already talked about, but that's a very significant step for our
[23:51] fire department.
[23:54] On-term planning, I afforded them the ISO stuff.
[23:59] They asked for some wage data.
[24:02] So, I know they're working on things.
[24:03] they're looking at the impact fee stuff and then those two companies are working
[24:12] together too. So they're trying to put together a comprehensive package we
[24:18] should look like in the short-term and in the very long term.
[24:25] The exposition in the
[24:26] Ram are done, so we've got new Rescue 41, we're calling the truck Ops 41, because it'll
[24:33] be operations mostly hauling trailers and bikes side by side.
[24:38] I did kind of a minimalist package on them and I used radios that we bought in November.
[24:47] So the bottom result is about $68,000 left from the 200,000.
[24:56] And I've asked the county if we could get a third vehicle because we've got the expedition was about 60,000.
[25:04] So we should be able to do the same thing again.
[25:06] My meeting with Shane Scott tomorrow, hopefully you'll have an answer for me because the the grant was written out two vehicles with communications and lights entirely.
[25:18] If not, then we'll just have to put more command stuff and buy some arrangements or place
[25:23] the ones that we put in there.
[25:26] They should let us do it.
[25:27] I'm going to push in hard because that's what we need.
[25:34] You can talk to me, Shane again, about Fourth Districts more.
[25:39] There's been a couple of different developments.
[25:42] Once we met with the, what's the name of the place I worked down here somewhere, Fort
[25:51] Districts Brown, right?
[25:53] So it's, yeah, everywhere in the county that's not in the district is what they talked
[25:57] about as the Fort District, and it's a wooly district which their, their tax rate is very,
[26:05] very, very, very low, and they basically, the county basically uses it as a bank, so they
[26:09] They have this account that if we have a big fire, they have some need to pay for it for some reason if it doesn't get
[26:16] Deleted into the state
[26:19] Monviso folks came down and we had a meeting with
[26:24] myself Shane Scott
[26:27] Monviso representatives
[26:30] And they're interested in donating land for fire station and then we gave them numbers of what it would be to join the fire
[26:39] district, and I told them it would be, if they joined the fire district, we'd have to do an analysis of
[26:47] how much revenue they would bring to the district and then what kind of services that would buy them.
[26:52] It's not, you're not going to automatically get
[26:56] service.
[26:57] And we discussed the difficulties of riding that on the other side of the health,
[27:03] especially more in the time.
[27:04] But there are ongoing discussions, anything that's going to knock on that door and get us
[27:11] to start progressing that for district, I'm all for the, you probably saw Eastern Summit
[27:20] County Planning Commission gave a thumbs down to Brown's Canyon, it doesn't give me a lot
[27:26] confidence for this because of the primary municipality law that will still follow you after that,
[27:34] but there's, I don't know, I've talked to Dave here yesterday, he doesn't think, he thinks
[27:41] there'll be some backlash against that this year, and I think so too, both Wasis County and
[27:45] and some county have come out against that primary,
[27:49] mean this palliative law, where you can just start a city
[27:52] and you don't have to get a county approved.
[27:55] So that's would be our concern now.
[27:58] All that being said, we still need to think about
[28:01] who's gonna take those areas,
[28:03] because it's gonna happen at some point.
[28:07] So I continue to have this conversation.
[28:10] And then the county funding thing,
[28:15] I had another moment of unhappiness,
[28:25] lastly, because we didn't receive our state competitive grant,
[28:31] which wasn't a lot of money, it was $60,000.
[28:34] But the reasoning was because our county has the emergency services sales tax in place.
[28:43] So, again, I'm hitting Shane hard tomorrow and we need to have a plan for next year and
[28:50] we need to increase our share of the plan.
[28:56] There are, and I think our other avenue there is I think we still need to do some more
[29:01] follow-up with legislatures on making sure that they're aware of the misuse of not
[29:09] because that's not how they had that intended.
[29:11] We have access to three different lobbyists,
[29:14] so I've discussed it with all of them.
[29:18] I haven't discussed it with our new
[29:19] past representative,
[29:22] well she's not named.
[29:24] Right?
[29:25] I've met her, I haven't discussed it with her.
[29:27] But I've also discussed it with the State Bureau,
[29:30] the MS Director because it's just not right.
[29:35] And he has some influence at the Hill.
[29:36] And I've felt she ain't all for pursuing, there's also a lot of stuff if we need to
[29:42] with the actual fire association.
[29:46] And he's real strong about that too.
[29:52] Just doesn't it?
[29:53] Yeah, you just say fire achieves the association in districts and really MS.
[30:00] Director of Association of the three, they're paid lobbyists, so they all three know, and we're not the only one. When we're in the meeting last week about this other grant, we'll talk about a minute. We were all like, yeah, it's happened to us too. And so the state EMS director, you know, his ears perturbed up. So there'll be some pressure, and we just need to keep it mounting because it's not right. It's not fair.
[30:29] Well, they said you're already getting this.
[30:33] That was prior to.
[30:36] It was prior to.
[30:40] And the fact remains that if we received that amount of funding just in our district,
[30:46] it would be three and a half million dollars.
[30:50] So even if you're taking the other million dollars, that's another two.
[30:54] The other will take that that's another two and a half million dollars funding which is just about what we need to provide staffing and and have a
[31:02] Healthier capital
[31:04] Anyway, you want to look at it. That was a dirty way for them
[31:08] Totally just the path of the pocket so because they never would have passed
[31:18] So the grant I've been talking about they finally released it last week the application opened and it's still a mess
[31:24] I was hoping that it would be cleaner and that we would be able to
[31:29] bring some money in for staffing because our share of that, again, or share, and it's all up in the
[31:34] air, but our share of it, if you divided the $12 million by all the
[31:38] early mess agencies in the state, it would be up $300,000 a year, which we could staff
[31:44] an additional person a day basically, if I can rent the grant that way.
[31:51] The way they put it out, it's going to be exceedingly difficult, but I'm still going to look at it.
[31:57] We can do it for education, community, paramedicin, which I may have to get creative with and maybe able to do that.
[32:05] Innovation and technology, they're like, we'll just put Starland in other vehicles and buy some more vehicles, and I'm like, well, he's going to drive it.
[32:17] 10% for admin, which is $30,000 a year, and we can pick that up to help with some administrative
[32:25] costs.
[32:27] So I'm working through that.
[32:28] It's just not as, and it's a mess.
[32:31] They don't know what they're doing yet either.
[32:34] The other news they gave us was it's going to be a reimbursement, not a upfront check.
[32:44] And everybody's in the jaws of the room because most of these places where we are in a lot better place than a lot of these places in the state.
[32:56] But it would still be difficult to budget this way we could do it.
[33:03] So I just wanted to give you an update on that.
[33:05] And that's due to the time budget on the split.
[33:09] It might get us back, but there's a lot of holes in the budget.
[33:16] The grant's due by September 13th.
[33:18] So I'm going to have to spend a lot of time on it.
[33:20] And it's a little bit complex.
[33:21] It's not just your, I want this, send it off to the state and area check.
[33:27] The other thing about the grant is you
[33:29] can apply for the first two years because you
[33:33] should have the money first start should money by October and then get next year's
[33:41] money to so we it'll move fast if we'll be able to budget it will move fast once you
[33:46] find out in October so it's still workable but it's going to be complicated so we'll see
[33:56] keep you guys up to date. There it is meant with mom visa resident.
[34:04] We added Rob Ehern,
[34:08] paramedic volunteer, he's been a paramedic as long as I have. He's a retired American
[34:14] airlines captain, he's a retired fighter jet, he's a retired colonel, a little bit of
[34:23] here taking his volunteer stipend and putting it into the charity. We set up the
[34:33] friends of some of the firefighters. So that takes care of a couple of
[34:38] different problems. But these are rocks are duties instructor and he's just a good
[34:50] And he has neighbors that are similarly interested.
[34:56] He lives in Wasatch County, and he went to Wasatch County and they said, we are not interested.
[35:06] So I think that's kind of a cool thing because I've filled the station right next to his
[35:10] house.
[35:12] But he asked some other neighbors that were similarly qualified that could really help us out.
[35:18] So I continued to try to develop that community involvement in high functioning people.
[35:26] He was really a good guy.
[35:32] Not much of a slouch.
[35:34] He flew helicopters as well, flew PJs.
[35:38] and these are really nice and kind.
[35:44] And in this white front,
[35:45] uh, over to, uh,
[35:46] can you mention that the water came in,
[35:48] and the water came in here?
[35:50] They came to, uh,
[35:52] Ashley's wedding celebration.
[35:54] Oh, that's nice.
[35:56] Yeah, they're just, they're lovely people.
[35:59] Um, we've almost completed the insertion package.
[36:03] Well, basically, it's complete.
[36:04] So, um, my,
[36:07] We've been up in the woods a whole bunch, not as much as last week, but it was almost
[36:12] every day for a bit, and having still problems and communications, the Starling Quicks
[36:20] pretty good, but it's still kind of bulky, and Dave came to me and said, hey, certain
[36:27] rescuers use these rhinos, so they're a DPS unit, it has a radio in it, it has topography,
[36:33] and you can see where everybody else is.
[36:36] And so about four of those were some of the money left
[36:38] from the gift, about bicycle helmets and they bought bags.
[36:44] These were all specced by the crew.
[36:47] So about two new backcountry-only bags that are mystery
[36:51] ranch, so they're made for what we do to go into the back
[36:57] country, not just to run an ambulance.
[37:00] So there's about, we haven't spent
[37:01] about $1,000 of that, it was $120,000, I think I had to go back to work.
[37:11] Yeah, I told you.
[37:14] So, I spent all the $1,000 that year later
[37:17] but we're up and running basically, yeah, in the works.
[37:22] Yeah, with the trailer of the truck and everything we're up and running.
[37:26] And we continue to refine that a little bit and make sure our guys are safe.
[37:32] And then lastly, the building with our day monitor, she will be taking the letters off
[37:41] of that.
[37:42] She contacted me and asked if we wanted the siren, she contacted the mayor and asked if he
[37:46] wanted the siren, we were all kind of getting together and next we knew the siren was torn
[37:50] down and mayor contacted her and she's all going to keep it and we're going to restore and
[37:54] put it on the building.
[37:58] She was confused at first because she thought it was just a male and didn't realize it was actually a siren that used to go off of the noon.
[38:09] I'm going to take the tower over and set it on and use the metal.
[38:17] The tower's down, that's gone. I mean we were supposed to choose to give back to us.
[38:20] I can't say I don't think I get.
[38:23] We tried to get the sign on the way to the point.
[38:26] We can't unperished her.
[38:28] We can't be in person.
[38:29] I'm not in person.
[38:30] I'm not in person.
[38:30] I'm not in person.
[38:31] It was a fine thing.
[38:32] They did.
[38:33] Yeah.
[38:34] So...
[38:35] Have a new whistle again, have you?
[38:36] Yeah.
[38:37] Morning.
[38:37] Yeah, and she's...
[38:39] When I talked to her, she wanted to get that up and going.
[38:42] And the mayor and I both thought that she'd go to the community.
[38:45] But then again, she bought it.
[38:48] So...
[38:48] It's kind of hers.
[38:52] Mayor Matt and I talked about either the park or the station, but it is hers.
[38:57] And the letters will be coming out.
[38:59] So she's going to restore the fire department neon station neon sign and told me she was
[39:05] going to try to put it inside.
[39:07] I told her the biggest problem is it, it's a public safety issue as we've had people show
[39:13] up there and it's not a fire station.
[39:17] So that's finally going to be done, that would be good, finally.
[39:22] And that's all I got, unless you got questions.
[39:25] So guys, my very proper good.
[39:29] Questions?
[39:35] None.
[39:37] Okay.
[39:38] No closed session, right?
[39:40] Yeah, we do have a closed session.
[39:41] Oh, fire!
