White River Township Fire Protection District

 

**** Pre-Meeting Report for August 6, 2003 ****

 

Compiled July 30, 2003

 

 

  1. Station 52 repairs update.
    1. No final report has been received from Don Courteau.

 

  1. Station 53 septic issues.
    1. Earthtek has installed a flow meter to monitor actual water flow into the system.  This will allow them to determine exactly when the high water alarm goes off.  They will monitor this for one month.

 

  1. Tactical unit update - still working on project and really no new news to report.

 

  1. We are still fine-tuning the numbers for the 2003 Fire Loan.  This will be discussed further at the 8/6 meeting.

 

  1. Engine 51 is not expected to be delivered until sometime after September 1st at a cost of $279,502.  The original completion date that was contracted was June 12, 2003.  According to this contract, the manufacturer must pay us $100 per day for every day they are late until we take delivery of the truck.  This amount will be deducted from the final price of the truck upon receipt of the final invoice.  The manufacturer moved their factory to another location, thus resulting in our delay.
