was aware that there was sufficient money in the fund balace
to cover the items.
First item for discussion under old business is the 1984-
85 budget. The Fire Protection Area will receive additiont
state funds as a mistake was made in the FY1984 calculation.
Senate Bill 333 and House Bill 442 concerning state funds
for volunteer fire departments are in committee. The cur-
rent mil rate for the residents of FPA #1 is 1.5 mils.
With the additional state funds it may be possible to lower
the present rate. The Advisory Board would like to set
up short-range and long-range goals for the Fire Protection
Area as a wholeg concerning service and funds needed.
It is important that the station facility be inspected
by the OSHA representative before the building's anniversary.

but has not as of this date completed such.

on the water storage and water filter problems, postponed.
Total cost for the Chief and two volunteers to attend the
Arson Seminar will be approximately $2300. A telephone poll

merit existed for an extra person attending the Arson Semaar.
