June 17, 2010

Chair Jim Lett called the regular meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners for SJCFD #4 to order at 5:00 PM. The meeting held at the District Office is located at 2228 Fisherman Bay Road on Lopez Island.

Those present were Commissioners Becky Smith, Kim Smith, Chief Jim Ghiglione, and staff Susan Sanchez.

PROCEDURAL ITEMS

There was no Public Input.

There was Correspondence from San Juan County Community Development and Planning requesting permission for County employees to survey, document and map possible wetland features on fire department property between June 15^th and September 30^th, 2010. After some discussion, permission was denied.

Chair Lett wanted it noted in the minutes the Commissioner’s appreciation to Firefighters Mike Reinmuth, Geoff Green, Tommer Roush and Larry Harris for working on the deck walkway.

Chair Lett made a motion to approve the May 13, 2010 meeting minutes with Commissioner Becky Smith making the second, all approved, motion carried.

Commissioner Becky Smith made a motion to approve the May Vouchers for $23,060.50 and the June 2010 Staff Payroll for $24,161.17. Chair Lett seconded the motion, all approved, motion carried.

REPORTS

An apparatus report from Fire Fleet Maintenance dated June 16, 2010 was submitted.
The walkway decking at Station 41 is almost completed.
The outside ground maintenance continues.
The recruit class will continue until after July 4^th.
The new EMT recertification program is going well.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

FIRE MARSHAL DISCUSSIONS – The joint Fire Commissioner’s meeting was on Lopez on June 17^th. Commissioner Becky Smith stated that Fire Marshall Paul Turner is a credit to the program. His personality and attitude are useful. The Chief said there would be an interlocal agreement/contract between the Fire Districts and the County, keeping the Fire Districts in control of the Fire Marshall position, but the County covering the insurance.

STATION 41 DOWNSTAIRS’ SPACE – The remodeling has not begun.

ANNUAL AWARDS BANQUET – Nothing at this time.

STATION 44 ADDITION DESIGN – Nothing at this time.

COMPUTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE – The Commissioner’s laptop computers are configured, but there still need to be a decision on which Microsoft Office software to be installed. The Chief has had some difficulties with the free program “open office”. Commissioner Becky Smith may have a connection and able to get the Microsoft Office program less expensive that the $149.00. Jonathan Dupuis has been doing the tech work.

STATION 41 INSULATION – Only one bid was returned from Pacific Rim Insulators for $4,930.00. The Chief recommends accepting the bid.

FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC HIRING PROCESS – Tracie Red Elk started May 17^th. The Chief reported that our medical director Dr. Sullivan said she has been doing a great job working in the O.R. with him. We are now waiting for the license from the State Dept of Health that would allow her to go on EMS calls alone. The Chief distributed a handout titled “Grow our own Paramedic Firefighter”.

There was no NEW BUSINESS.

BOARD MEMBER ITEMS

The Chief handed out a request to the Commissioners regarding the District buying back three weeks of his vacation time. After some discussion, the Commissioners agreed to allow the buy back. Commissioner Becky Smith made a motion to allow Chief Jim Ghiglione to sell back three-week vacation to the District at $1,640.625 per week. Commissioner Kim Smith seconded the motion, all approved, motion carried.

Commissioner Becky Smith suggested the joint Commissioners and Chief’s gift to the Elliott’s be a gift certificate for their Kindle; all agreed that it would be a good idea.

Chair Jim Lett adjourned the regular meeting at 6:50 PM.
