Department has a winter party planned at Billy's Restaurant in January <br /> 7. Air mask update: Chief Tom formed a plan to purchase 20 new air packs with a 7 year USDA <br /> loan This plan would save approximately 13%due to price increases <br /> planned in 2016 by manufacturers.This plan was delayed due to a state <br /> statute that requires all fire department purchases over$100,000 must be <br /> advertised for bids.We decided to apply for the 2015 AFG grant because we <br /> have nothing to lose.At the same time we will advertise for bids just as <br /> required to plan for purchasing them during 2016.One way or another we <br /> should have new air masks during 2016.On the up-side of the AFG grant our <br /> application group was able to redo the narrative section in order to satisfy <br /> grant readers who decide who is awarded the grants. Hopefully this plan <br /> works. <br /> 8.
