    1. Anyone that can help set up please be at headquarters at 9:00a.m., if you have a hitch to tow a trailer that would help.
    2. Anyone that could work on Saturday please come, just remember if you sign up you decide – if you show up someone else does.

 

  1. Alarms that are going off at Devonshire are not a malfunction, someone is pulling them.  Please be aware of the resident in apt 1177C, the pull station is outside that apartment.

 

  1. Next Thursday is the County fire meeting.
    1. There will be a Hog Roast for the meeting.
    2. The county Firefighters Association is trying to get a fundraiser together at the Moose Lodge in August; they may need help with the fundraiser.  There will be a dance and silent auction.

 

  1. Laptop project update:
    1. The staff cars are almost complete; the project is going a little slower than expected.
    2. There will soon be four apparatus that will receive the mounts:  E53, L53, E52, and R51.  Lieutenant Hurrle will be coordinating the project.
    3. There will soon be broadband access on the apparatus to access the Firehouse Software live.
    4. Work is being done on the Firehouse Software, we are the 10th department nationwide to be receiving the update but the first to actually attempt to put into service.  There have been some bugs but Firehouse is working diligently to get the software up and running.

 

  1. Station 52 update - Work is continuing.  Drywall has been delivered and work will be progressing.

 

  1. Station 51 update:
    1. There will be a ground breaking today, just leveling ground.
    2. The mass dig for the basement will be on Monday.
    3. NO ONE is to stop by the site.  This creates problems for the contractors and for the department.  Every two weeks their will be a tour of the building along with an update meeting.  Reps will be there to answer any questions during the tours of the building.
    4.  It is a hard hat project.
    5. The estimated completion date is April 30, 2007.
    6. There will be an official ground breaking.  The department wants this to be a community and media event so everyone will be notified of the schedule when it becomes available.

 

  1. Budget for 2007 – 2007 budget is almost identical to the 2006 budget with the exception of the regular increases.
