IX. Board Member Comments
R. Nelson. None.
G. Spalinger. None.
S. Arndt. Spoke against the memo from Rick Gifford dated June 12,2007 to the FPAl
and WBSA. Recommends that Chair, Vice Chair and Bob Himes meet with WBSA,
because the memo has profound effect on the response times and is adverse to both
service areas. Feels that in the interim something else can be done; it is inappropriate
and inadequate. [Memo stated that the Borough does not currently have the power to

not to provide any such services. Employees/volunteers not covered by the Alaska's
Good Samaritan Statute.] HIMES told the Board that Gifford was in the process of
reworking the memo, which the Volunteers refused to sign. DOLPH read a mock
article, detailing possible events should the memo remain in effect. ARNDT strongly
recommended that the Chair or Vice Chair be present at every Assembly work
session/regular meeting, because things come up that are not on the agendas and it
could pertain to this issue. Questions come up and answers will be needed.
M.Dolph. None.
x. Adiournment
