White River Township Fire Protection District

*** Pre-Meeting Report for March 5, 2003 ***

Compiled February 27, 2003

1. Curt Coonrod’s office had prepared a balance sheet for the February meeting.  Paul suggested that we review the status of our relationship with that firm again before budget time.

2. Earthtek agreed that we would pay for the tiles and that they would pay for the labor.  However, no work has been started yet, probably due to weather.

3. Station 52 updates:
1. Radio tower has been installed.  We are waiting to install the antennas on move-in day because they must be moved from Greenwood Station 92.
2. Inside work has been completed with the exception of the carpet installation.
3. Bay work seems to be completed, with the exception of the hose tower, which still has damage and storm debris.
4. There are still some outstanding issues with the new brick matching. 
5. Chief Tibbetts spoke with JL Fox after the February District meeting and was able to get them to lower their cost for bricking in the sliding door on the back of the station.  That work has not yet been started due to the brick matching issue noted above.
6. We have not yet received a written report from Don Corteau.

4. Trish will finalize the Supplemental Agreement showing the changes that were discussed at the February meeting and have available for signing at the March meeting.

5. We are still awaiting a reply from Brian Bosma’s office on the finalized Service Agreement with Public Safety Medical Services.  We are also awaiting his review of the Job Task Evaluation proposal.

6. Personnel Issues:
1. We are awaiting notification from PERF that Mark Hart has successfully completed the necessary requirements for employment.
2. Nick Alford and Jeff Smith have completed the physical and psychological exams.  Once we receive the necessary paperwork from the physicians involved, everything will be forwarded to the State PERF Board for their action.
3. Trish and Chief Cassin are finalizing the permanent rank list for career employees.  A final list should be available at the March meeting.

7. District meeting minutes from 1999 to present have been converted into HTML format as was discussed at previous meetings.  Chief Cassin will show everyone how to access these files at the March District meeting.

8. The Crown Victoria has been sold and removed from the Fire Department property by its new owner.

9. Another Expedition was ordered after it was approved at the February District meeting.  It should arrive sometime during the first week of April.

10. Cold water rescue suits and miscellaneous related equipment that was approved at the February District meeting has been received and will be on the Rescue once training has been completed.
