9. OLD BUSINESS
a. Lease/Sublease
The Chair refers to an email he sent to the Board September 14`h detailing how Scott Arndt had
shared that $25,000 would be the amount looked at as a buy-out for Service Area #1 interest in
the utility building. Scott Arndt arrived at this cost by obtaining a quote for two 40 -foot connex's
and a roof between the two connex's for $32-35K and then discounted it based on the lesser
square footage.
Discussion ensued on this subject.
NELSON MOVED to table this motion - the Sublease/Lease Agreement - until it can be
determined until the next meeting date and a meet with the Assembly.

12. BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTS
C. Walton — Show up tomorrow night with as many people as we can. The direction the Chief is
taking, all of his crew, there is a plan, and we need to keep going in that direction. We have to
keep it going. We need to be heard.
R. Carstens — I agree with the two previous speakers; I will be there. I would really like to thank
Rebecca for her fifteen years of service, I am glad you will still be around.
M. Dolph — I am in total agreement. It is imperative that we show up tomorrow night and request
a continuance on this lease item. Rebecca, I appreciate your last comments in your last meeting.
We will miss having you on the Board.
R. Nelson — I have had fifteen years on the Board, it is time to go, volunteering and being on the
Board is a conflict, I think I can be more effective on the other side, looking this way. This is a
fire department, it's a campus, let's make this a fire department campus. I will continue to be a
volunteer here. The Chief is right, take, take, take, let's continue to stand up for what is ours.
Chair Van Dyke — Thank you Rebecca for all your service on the Board and thank you for
volunteering. I appreciate the wisdom and years of experience all of you contribute to this Board.
Chief Rue — I came here 2-1/2 years ago. We have all worked really hard -- to see this fire
department get abused, it is appalling, KIB does not support us. I hope you guys stand up and say
we have had enough.
