Chief Rue reported his numbers and a brief overview for March calls. Chief has been working at
the Emergency Operations Center and there is a COVID-19 response plan in place. At the end of
the meeting Chief added that the renovations on the roof and exterior project are slowly moving
forward; materials are arriving. The contractor is hoping to begin work in May.

Paul Van Dyke reported that he has done some digging into old minutes to see what has been left
undone. He would like to do `spring cleaning' to make sure things are revisited and completed.
9. NEW BUSINESS
VOLUNTEER STIPENDS
Chair Van Dyke asked if Chief Rue or Richard Carstens would like to speak to this
item. There was a long discussion regarding the documents provided by Dora
Cross (Kodiak Island Borough Finance Director), the differences for volunteer vs.
part-time temporary, and which direction they would like to see the Fire
Department go with this. Chair will find out more information from the Borough's
legal counsel about part-time temporary employment.
HIRING NEW CHIEF
Chair Van Dyke asked Lauri Whiddon, Kodiak Island Borough Human Resources
Specialist, if she would like to provide a status update. Lauri summarized what
the job description status; with COVID-19 going on everything seems to be at a
stand -still. The company that they sent off the job description to do a market
analysis requested another week extension. Lauri said she will work closely with
the Chair to get something to the Board for review and then advertised.
