FINANCIAL REPORT Chief Sielert presented the financials for October stating the budget amounts look good. The projected revenue receipts were $13,300.89 over what was budgeted. He also reported the district should be under budget by around $10,000, which means we should end the year with approximately $23,000 left in funds from 2004. The overage in revenue collected could not be spent without republishing the budget; however it could be moved to equipment reserve without republishing. He also stated the he believed that expenses for the Station II Siding and Towers for the location system could be paid for with remaining 2004 operating fund and still remain under budget. He reported the budget is in good shape. He reported bids were being considered on Station II and the equipment that will be needed for the location system. He reported receiving $6,800 from tax distribution that had been under collected in personal property. Keith Johnson moved; Kent Harlow seconded the financial report be approved as presented. The motion carried. OLD BUSINESS
Chief’s Reports
Chief Sielert reported the CERT classes are ongoing. He reported that the District web site had been showing a good amount of activity.
Chief McGuire reported he has been working on obtaining bids for Station II although he has not had good response. He reported no response from two, but does have one response for $4,955,which includes everything but painting and supplying the dumpster. This bid is for smart board siding which has replaced masonite siding. It does not include guttering or painting, but does include a window. The board agreed he should continue looking for additional bids. He reported he has been meeting with South County and JCCC in reference to EMT training and will be meeting with them to determine the final program. He indicated there has been bus extraction training as well as discussion regarding training for the next year. He reported the new construction reviews are going good. He reported the server has been ordered and will cost $2,198.
Chief Sielert discussed the detachment requests from the City of Gardner, the letters and email exchanges with Stuart Fairburn concerning the contract. Stuart Fairburn had again requested the same information given to him in April, but we have not heard back from him. Chief Sielert will contact him again for a further response.
Keith Johnson moved to leave the City of Gardner detachment request on the table and direct Chief Sielert to make personal contact with the City Administrator, Stuart Fairburn in an attempt to formalize and finalize the three-year interlocal agreement by the regular December meeting. Kent Harlow seconded and the motion carried.
