SPECIAL MEETING
Conrad opened the meeting by stating that the purpose of the
meeting was to review and discuss the Mutual Aid Fire
Agreement as prepared by both the Kodiak Island Borough and
the United States Coast Guard.
Conrad stated that he had distributed copies of the
agreement to all members prior to the meeting date to look
over and asked if any Board members had questions.
a
Barber requested that Dale Rice, WBVFD Chief make his
comments at this time prior to any discussion of the Board.
Conrad requested that Rice make his comments.
Rice stated that up to this point in time, the agreement
that had been in place had to be reviewed annually. He
commented that this agreement has no definite end date as
the old agreement did. He stated that this new agreement has
been in process for the last two years and had been reviewed
by both the Borough and coast Guard Legal Branch and that
this was the final draft.

Rice continued that he and Chief Rossiter had tried to get
automatic response language in the agreement at one point
but this was objected to and excluded during the review
process. He stated that aid had to be requested as a per
incident basis.
Burt commented that for a change this seemed to be some
amount of common sense put into this document.
Lee stated that he could see only good things coming out of
this type of agreement.
Rice stated that while he has been the Chief, two responses
had been requested for aid from the Coast Guard. He added
that the Coast Guard has always been willing to respond to
our requests for aid.
Conrad stated that the training that is associated with this
type of agreement is and has been very valuable to the
Department and the Community.
