inspected, COVID tent will be up by end of the week, work on the stairs that was needed for the
voting process was completed, all engines passed their testing except Engine 10: its auxiliary
inlet valve needs to be replaced.
Chief Rue then spoke about the cleaning quotes that he received from Tuan. There are two
quotes; one for a general cleaning (as needed) and the other is for a carpet cleaning (after
election season). The Board did not make any decisions, decide on as needed.
8. CHAIR PERSON'S REPORT
Chair Paul Van Dyke said he is happy the construction on the building is complete. And told the
Board he had spoken with Matt Gandel and there may be more funds that need to be allocated to
completely pay off the project. Will let the Board know when he finds out more.
9. NEW BUSINESS
A. CARES ACT
Chair Paul Van Dyke discussed that through EOC (Emergency Operations Center) he has
thought about the signage around town. He discussed with he Board the idea of
requesting CARE funds for a nice sign at Bayside. That end of town does not have many
commercial options for signage/reminders to public. This would be a good way to get 0
general reminders/notices to the public. Board liked the idea and Chair will look farther
into this.
Chair Paul Van Dyke also discussed Chiefs salary reimbursement for working at the
EOC. There was discussion among the Board with the Borough Manager Michael Powers
regarding hours spent at EOC.
B. ITEMS IN APARTMENT AT BAYSIDE
Chair Paul Van Dyke said Chief Rue had purchased nice items to be able to live in the
apartment. The list of items is for the Board to consider purchasing from Chief Rue to
stay in the apartment for the next Chief. There was some discussion among the Board.
CARSTENS MOVED to accept the 13-item list in the amount of $550.00 for the Bayside
Fire Department. DOLPH seconded.
