The Chief submitted a Report of Purchasing Authority exercised by other Fire Chiefs to be reviewed when establishing purchasing limits for the PVSSD.
Treasurer Report George Cropper provided Profit & Loss Statement for the month of March 2014. (copy attached).
George Cropper again brought up the subject of establishing a Purchas-ing Policy for PVSSD. He submitted a DRAFT based on State Auditor’s Office. Kirk Smith suggested that the PVSSD policy should be tailored to meet the requirements and intention of state law and suggested we check the State Auditor’s web site for details. Further discussion concerning policy will be at a meeting when all Board Members are present.
Chief Schiefer submitted a report noting the purchasing policy governing other fire stations/chiefs. This information can also be reviewed by the Board when determining a Purchasing Policy.
Citizen Comments
The Heroes Award presentation to Chief Schiefer was a very nice event and attended by quite a few persons from the Valley.
It was determined that Herman Nordbruch will act as liaison with Washington County by working with the County Attorney when needed. It was suggested that Michelle Mitchell would be a good resource for legal issues. George Cropper asked if Herman should attend the Impact Fee Seminar at the expense of the PVSSD.
Laurette Winterton reported that, after one year, Cameron Hawkins resigned as Enterprise EMS Chief and will be replaced by Brandon Moody.
Rodell Terry will no longer be an active EMT due to her husband’s health condition. She will be turning over her equipment to Linda Simmons who has completed her training. We are looking forward to three more people joining the EMT team.
The Chief will be sending three fire fighters to training.
Chief reported that the truck passed inspection.
Motion to adjourn by John Nichols and seconded by Herman Nordbruch. Meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
