The Fire Board is working on a new way to calculate contract rates by using all fire calls <br />�--- instead of just the structure fires. This way would be more fair to all members of the <br />contracted area we serve. Using this method of all fire calls, would benefit Breezy Point <br />and Pequot Lakes. The Pequot Lakes City Council voted to accept the all fire call <br />calculation method to figure contract rates at there last meeting. <br />We should do our annual hose testing soon, perhaps during May and June. Bill would <br />like to do a hi -vol hose drill and testing for the May training meeting. <br />Bill ordered some new fire gear tonight. He recommends we need to wash our gear <br />regularly. There is a file for each members gear records and the condition that it is in. <br />This is an OSHA requirement. <br />A haz -mat data sheet was discussed that we received from Oasis Oil recently. The plant is <br />located in the City of Jenkins on Lilac Street. Hazardous materials include gasoline, <br />premium gasoline, fuel oil, diesel fuel, and motor oils. <br />Neil attended a recent meeting concerning the new 800 megahertz radio program which <br />will be required by 2013. By 2013 all radios must be digital or operate on 800 megahertz. <br />After 2011, no radios will be manufactured using our present frequency. Crow wing <br />County will favor the digital radio plan so all emergency personnel may talk to any other <br />emergency agency that they want to. This new digital feature operates with amazingly <br />clear signals and very good distance reception. Financing this proposed program will be <br />best done by the largest group possible, such as the entire county. <br />There will be an Officer's meeting at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, May 13. <br />Safety Town will be on Tuesday, June 9`t'. Please plan to help if you can. <br />The June 17th training will be fit testing air masks by Pro Med. <br />Rickard motioned to adjourn, second by Nelson, meeting adjourned. <br />PRESENT AT MEETING: Ackerman, Arnold, Bridge, Natasha Carlson, Casanova, <br />Cerise, Jacobson.
