motion passed. By-law change#3 was"members shall be required to attend 60%of all business and training meetings for each year. This includes all special business and training meetings which have been given proper notice. Members may make up any training meetings that they missed through out the year. Personnel will also be required to make 30% of all incident responses for each year. Failure to meet these requirements will result in a meeting with the PLFD Executive Committee. The committee will take into account any circumstances concerning each case and decide what action will be taken. If the member has no good reason for the absences he/she will be placed on probation for the following year. Should it happen again the second year the department shall terminate the member's employment." Roger Varilek motioned to accept this change, second by Dan Loven, all members voted yes except for Mike Peterson. Discussion was held to eliminate the special meetings. This discussion went no where and the by-law change stands the way it was originally made. Our vehicles should be washed regularly. The scholarship fund has a balance of about$900.00. The recipient for this year will be selected soon. The fun committee adopted two families through Lutheran Social Services and spent about $160.00 for Christmas gifts. The Chief asked for financial help from any member who could help. Evenson motioned to pay the $160.00 for those gifts from our pancake money, second by Oaks, motion passed. The fun committee meets tomorrow night at Timber Jacks at 7 pm. A committee was formed to change over totally the old water tender to the Engine 7 from Ideal, so that project gets done.
