Contractor Comments:
December was light month for plowing, but required multiple gravel runs
throughout the month, it was noted that the gravel remained on road surface
longer this past month. Contractor stated better product received from supplier
and also attributed a slower speed while applying gravel, but doing so led to 1 -1
1/2 more truck loads of gravel needed than in past.

Old Business Fire Department:
• Tanker 23 repairs: still pending John Melien Premier Mechanical.
• HUD Grant: D. Conrad posed the question of "If no action from KIB results in a
$400K grant loss due to inaction, will KIB reimburse WBSB the approved grant
amount? KIB is supposed to prioritize the budget for pending projects, and a lost
opportunity for $400K grant for WBSB will reflect poorly on all involved.
• Credit card for Fire department small purchase. Pending
• Energy audit, D. Conrad stated that further research and evaluations are needed,
specifically a carbon footprint of the fire hall.

New Business Fire Department:
• D. Conrad brought the need for new pagers for volunteers, he suggested newer
ICOM pager /radio's due to new regulations that require onsite fire fighters to
have radio communication ability during a callout fire. D. Conrad motioned for
$3K for new radios, G. Lee seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
• D. Conrad brought the need for 24 new fire fighting helmets, due to limited on
hand supply, (Helmets are sized and issued to only one volunteer firefighter, not

helmets with repair /spare parts plus shipping, G. Lee seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
