Minutes: Dennis made a motion to approve the minutes with the corrected

With no discussion the motion carried (3/0). Approval for the
Fire District Pay Order: Scott made a motion to approve the pay orders
and Dennis seconded the motion. Motion carried (3/0). Old Business: Maureen presented to the board a copy of the bids that the town received for the mowing of their properties for them to look over. The board did decide that since we own our own equipment that they would take the offer and hire on the fireman that was willing to help out until Dale can return. The time frame could be just a couple of months or the whole mowing season. New Business:
The board felt after reading over the draft of the merger that things
were being done backwards as there was no plan in place yet.
Alicia did ask Bill Brooks if the town had come up with a detailed plan
as to what happens on a daily basis with all aspects of the fire district.
She also wanted to know exactly what the benefits were of merging the
Fire District and the Town also what are they trying to accomplish by doing
this. Bill did not have any definite
answers to these questions. Scott
got very upset with Bill at how he feels things are being handled.
Scott does not feel at this time that it is in the best interest of the
fire district to merge with the town. The
discussion got very heated and went on for some time with nothing actually being
resolved. The one thing that did
come from this was that the merger agreement was premature.
The board did not feel that this could in any way be settled by the next
annual meeting as there are still so many little details that are not worked out
at this time. Public Comments:
None Other

further discussion. Motion carried
(2/0). The meeting adjourned at 8:10
