Appointments: Ed Gondek is the new Fire Chief for the Womens Bay Volunteer

Old Business:
1. Cobis and Kortlever attended a work session with the Borough Manager and
Engineer along with two representatives from Brechan Enterprizews. This
was to discuss methods of repairing Sargent Ck Rd. and how to pay.for it.
The resultd will be presented by the Manager at the next Borough Assem-
bly meeting. Chairman will attend that meeting.
2. The phone number for FIRE in Womens Bay did not make it in the new phone
book. Alternate plans call for purchasing stickers to give to our neigh-
bors for their phones.
New Business:
1. New signs needed to direct people to New Firehouse. Volunteers wanted.
2. Road Service Budget; discussed problem spots on Road System and antic-
ipated problems, and came to the conclusion that the Road Service Budget
should stay the same.
3. Fire Service Budget; we attempted to keep this Budget the same as last
year by transferring requested amounts from areas that saw no cash flow
in the last fiscal year. these funds were added to the budget requests
in areas that we underestimated last year. No final decision can be made
on this matter until we have more information on Insurance costs.
A suggestion was made to raise Fire Service taxes by half a mil, this
would cover paying Fire Calls to the City Fire Department. We are still
unsure what this service' might cost, or if the City can realistically
hope to respond in time. Public opinion should be taken on this matter.
At present home owners are liable to pay the City if they respond to a
Fire on private property.in our valley.
Mel Kottlever will pursue details left in Budget process, and he is per-
sonally responsible for the most informative Budget session any of us
ever sat in on. Good work Mel!
