The Pequot lakes Brush Pilots snowmobile club donated an ice rescue sled to our department. The value of this donation is $3000.00. We appreciate their support. New fire department officers for 2005 are Fire Chief, Tom Nelson; First Assistant Chief, Dan Loven; Second Assistant Chief, Dave Szymanski; Captains,Neil Casanova, Jeremy Bridge, and Roger Varilek; Safety Officer, Bob Peterson II; Training Officers, Brian Evenson and Daren Nordby; and Secretary-Treasurer,Bob Peterson I. The fire department personnel report listed Kelly Larson as resigning from the department, Natasha Carlson has recently joined the department, Tony Maurer resigned from the department, and John Lauer, Nick Putnam, Patrick Selter, Mike Schwankl, and Dustin Zeimet completed Fire fighter I classes. The operations report listed that our fire pagers work better than ever after failing for about two months. Our ice auger event held during the Breezy Point Ice Fest was the best ever. This was the third year we have sponsored this. We plan to replace our water tender truck with the newly renovated Ideal pump truck. We are working on updating our by- laws and operation guidelines Doug Rach, newly elected Mayor of Breezy Point, reported that the new Breezy Point Emergency Services building is on schedule in construction. The extent to which we use the facility is still not known for sure. The fire board does not have a written contract to help fund operation of this new facility. We are under the impression that the new building will be operated just like the two garage stalls we occupy now with a couple of trucks. We have heard that North Ambulance may have an ambulance stationed in the new building. This is not a reality. Fire Board Officers are presently Bob Peterson as Chairman and Sharon Thurlow as Vice-Chairperson. Election of Officers for the new year was called for. Greer motioned that the present Officers remain the same for the year, second by Benson, motion passed. A fire hall tour is available for anyone after our meeting. Meeting dates for 2005 are April 27th, July 27h, October 2e, and January 25, 2006. Mark your calendars. Messerschmidt motioned to adjourn, second by Murphy, meeting adjourned. .
