This special meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m.
December 13, 1983•
After presentation of the proposals for providing the
pumper/tanker truck, a motion was,entertained by Horace
Simmons to accept the proposal from Western States Manu
facturing Company. Second was heard from Bill Weaver. Motion
carried unanimously. Western States entered the lowest
proposal price. The related equipment list will be revised
by the Board, the volunteers and Chief Smith to keep the
total figure at the $100,000 figure alloted, instead of
a higher figure.
It has been determined that the NEC brand Pagers may
be exchanged for the Motorola hand-held monitors. It
will involve a restocking charge and revising the number
of monitors downward to make up the higher cost per unit.
Bill Weaver made a motion to request such an exchange,
seconded by Carolyn Brisco, motion carried. The quieter
monitors will add to the usefulness to the volunteers and
insure their continual use.
Discussion was held concerning mutual aid agreements with
Women`s Bay -Russian River area and the Coast Guard Base. The
Board recognizes that voids for fire service exist. With a
formal agreement with other areas, Bayside`s fire engine
could legally respond outside our district. We see the need
for an overall study of fire protection coverage for the
areas of the Borough that are on the road system but not
included in a fire service district. Motion was made by
Horace Simmons to authorize Chief Smith to call out, at his
discretion, volunteers for response to any request for as-
sistance to any other fire district. Seconded by Carolyn
Brisco, motion carried.
Secretary has been directed to draft letters of thanks to
Sea -Land at local and Alaskan levels for delivery of our
Grumman 'rdildcat engine from Seattle to Kodiak. Also,to the
City Council for their continued cooperation.
Meeting was adjourned.
Carolyn M. Brisco.
