8. New Business
A. Purchase of New Protective Gear.
Chair Dolph told the Board that Chief Himes's report actually wraps this into a request. He is requesting
that $7500.00 come out of the Contingency fund, which has a balance of $19,370.00. Chief Himes states
in his report that the funds were going to be used as matching funds to the FEMA Grant if awarded,
which wasn't so he would like to purchase five sets of turn outs, boots and nomex hoods.
C. Davidson asked if five sets were going to be enough. Chair Dolph said that Chief Himes is going to
try to maintain a pattern of rotating five or so every year. G. Spalinger said it was his understanding that
they needed more but they're hoping a grant will come along to purchase the additional.
It was Moved and Seconded to approve the purchase of Turn Out Gear not to exceed $7500.00. Motion
Carried with a Roll Call vote.
B. Vehicle Repair & Maintenance - Squad II
Chair Dolph told the Board that Chief Himes wanted to let them know that he has scheduled Squad 11 to
go to RC Enterprises for body work and to be repainted on February 25, 2008. The estimated cost is
$4300.00 and will be taken out of Auto Repairs/Maintenance fund, which currently has a balance of
$11,630.00. Chief Himes also stated in his report that it is his intention to budget to have Squad 12 get
body work and painting next year and Tanker 10 the following year.
C. Davidson asked if the bodywork and new paint that was needed due to rust. Chair Dolph stated it was
due to dings, nicks, etc. and more of a pre-maintenance program.
It was Moved and Seconded to approve the body work and paint job. Motion Carried with a Roll Call
vote.
C. Adoption of Budget Development Plan - 2009
Chair Dolph said the last item is the 2009 budget. Wanted to point out to the Board that there was an
error on the first page the column identifying FY2008 year to date 2008 should be 2007. He also stated
that it would behoove the Board to look at the numbers that the KIB Finance Department provided
compared to what M. Barber provided as there appears to be a discrepancy.
G. Spalinger asked if money was going to need to be added. Chair Dolph said that actual revenue for
2007 was $430K and the year to date for 2008 was $419K, so he felt they were in the ballpark. He plans
to sit down with Chief Himes when he returns from Juneau and discuss it at the work session on March 4,
2008. Public Notice will go out the week of March 3 and March 10 and the Public Hearing will be held
on March 18,2008.
C. Davidson said he will be in Dutch Harbor for the work session and public hearing.

10. Board Comments
M. Dolph said he hoped that they can keep Jensen Y orba & Lott on track. It seems to be lagging at this
point. Also, he wanted to remind the Board of the Appreciation Banquet being held on Friday, February
22, 2008 from 7 - 9pm at KFRC.
G. Spalinger said he is concerned about the removal of the house if the weather continues as is. Wanted
to know how it will be removed. He also wanted to point out to the Board that he heard the movers came
to town and were told not to move the house because the contractor didn't have a place to put it at that
time.
C. Davidson said it still needs to be done by April 10.
M. Dolph agreed with the Board.
11. Meeting Schedule
Chair Dolph tentatively scheduled a work session for March 4,2008 and the next Regular Meeting/Public
Hearing for March 18, 2008.
