Pre-Meeting Report for November 6, 2007

 

Compiled October 31, 2007

 

 

 

  1. Due to the proximity of the meeting to the beginning of the month, the financial reports will not be available until after November 1st.

 

  1. We are making progress on the Station 51 project.  Yesterday, Chief Cassin and I met with JE Mechanical, JW Sims (electrical consultant), and Dan Sulkoske.  JW Sims stated that the electrical issue is 120% better.  He anticipated giving his final approval in his report with the exception of some very minor issues.  Those issues were being addressed by JE Mechanical that afternoon.  We still have some other minor issues to address with the kitchen hood system.  The final paint touch-up and cleaning should be completed this week.  Johnson County performed the Certificate of Occupancy inspection yesterday afternoon.  We are awaiting the results of that inspection.  Senefeld and Associates has completed the Certificate of Substantial Completion.  With any luck, we will finish the minor repairs next week and receive the Certificate of Occupancy the following week.

 

  1. Legal counsel should have an update on the Bluff Road property acquisition project.

 

  1. No new news on the sale of the Runyon Road property.  We are simply waiting to proceed until we get a little closer on the anticipated move date for the new station.

 

  1. No new news on the Station 53 sewer project as well.  The project is still at the engineering level.

 

  1. Charlie Fraker applied for the Fire Prevention Officer position.  He was interviewed by Chief Brown and me.  We believe he will be a very good fit for the position.  We anticipate appointing him to that position after the appropriate changes are made to the Safety Board document.

 

  1. Per the motion at the last meeting, changes to the Safety Board document will be presented to include the appointed rank of Captain.

 

  1. The Johnson County Public Safety Data & Communications Consortium Board has requested that agencies participating in data sharing to sign an acceptable use agreement.  I have forwarded a copy to Tricia Leminger.  I will request that the District Board sign the agreement.

 

  1. The career firefighter process has been completed.  We will be presenting one name for approval by the Safety Board to be hired full-time with the permanent rank of firefighter.  This position will fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Lt. Mark Williams in July.

 

 

The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 4, 2007.
