Member= s further discussed the current position on delinquent taxes for Jackson County and how they are estimated during the budget process. Estimating PERS costs were also discussed.

        &= nbsp;      

STAFF REPORT   

Training, Maintenance and Alarms :
December had fewer training opportunities due to the holidays. Brett review= ed the maintenance on 8507 which is having the engine rebuilt due to a broken crank shaft and having to replace the transmission on 8550 for a second time along with the usual scheduled maintenance.

      = ;  Alarms statistics for the year ended with 615. This is 50 more alarms than last ye= ar.  This is mostly due to the harsh we= ather we experience at the beginning of December.

 

 

 

 

Fuel Reduction:

      = ;  Even though there is no money available for fuels work, progress is being made on updating the Applegate Fire Plan. Since its inception in 2002, of the 60 projects outlined originally, 38 have been completed. There are now new mem= bers and new tools that continue to make this work progressive.

 

General:

      = ;  The big news being that the new engine has arrived. Brett explained the process= and how a glitch in the contract over the traction device for chains could potentially turn out in our favor by being able to view how they are instal= led.

      = ;  The Firefighter Academy is scheduled to begin Febr= uary 13th. We currently have 12 people signed up, although with a realistic attrition rate we should end up with 6 more volunteers, which is a very good result.

      = ; 
The residency agreement with Dan Moulin at Station 5 will be ending on March 1st.  We will be posting to solicit inte= rest.

      = ; 
The Mobile Cascade unit 8539 is scheduled next for work, once we get the new engine and 8507 back in service.

AFG HQ Exhaust Grant
