COMMITTEE REPORTS

PUBLIC COMMENTS NOT ON THE AGENDA

FIRE DEPARTMENT

Fire Chief Dall Winn discussed the following items with respect to Pine Valley Fire Department operations:

Dall discussed fireworks hazards and the need for a local position to prevent fires. After some discussion, a motion by Board member Lee Carlile was made to prohibit the use of fireworks in Pine Valley and authorize the Fire Chief to post a signs where needed throughout the valley. The motion was seconded by Board member Victor Christensen and carried.

NEW BUSINESS

Julie passed information from Utah Association of Special District training seminar, which she attended, to the Board members. Drafting policies for contracting, purchasing and contracts for the Secretary and Fire Chief were essential. These policies and documents are required under Utah State Law and were made available through the State Auditor's Office. She said that there must be someone authorized to be the purchasing agent for the District and suggested that the members could study the drafts presented at this time and consider them further at the next meeting.

Erie Snow suggested that there should be a maximum purchasing threshold amount which could be spent by authorized persons without specific board approval.

Vicki Frei asked if we use Form 1099 for tax reporting when the Secretary and Chief are contractors? The answer, yes we have been doing that for years including any contractors that we use.

It was suggested that the board may need a special work meeting to discuss these things. Victor Christensen said that the contracts as drafted were a very standard format and he believed they +could be approved now.

Dall said that the purchasing policies need to be discussed. Purchasing has been done by 4 or 5 different persons and all have been submitting bills.

Victor said that purchasing for the Department needs to be approved by the Fire Chief. He made a motion to accept the Utah State contract format as presented and to appoint Dall Winn as the purchasing agent for the Pine Valley Special Service District. The motion was seconded by Ryon Gardner and carried.

There was some general discussions on threshold approvals and how grant monies have been spent. Dall said he will mention the prior approval requirements at the next department meeting.

The board expressed thanks to Steve Robinson, also a member of the Volunteer Fire Department, for erecting our new flagpole.

There were no citizen comments or requests.
