Motion was seconded by Rhode and carried. Treasurer’s report was reviewed. Fire department report on a single snowmobile accident and three incidents of lifting help. It was discussed that lifting help should be solicited by the EMS responding and that a response back from one or two should be made on the radio with EMS reporting that the crew is fully staffed. Having more than needed respond without having a person in command control the number of those responding can not continue. Control over those driving equipment must be monitored. Vold reported that PED Kits will be available to the Conover Ambulance. They contain those items that are needed for the smaller or young age group – instruments and such. Vold also reported that complaints were received in reference to identifying clothing on the responding EMS personnel and also on the cleanliness of such responders. Nancy was instructed by the board to insure that the EMS understood their responsibilities for wearing a uniform and having it clean. Shirts and jackets are provided and must be utilized when on call. Ambulance was being recalled for a tuning spark and cam shaft problem for correction. Rich Martinson reported that fuel prices are going out of sight. They may get with a company to try a bio-diesel. Pitlik will honor chip seal bids at last year’s cost if we can let them know what roads we will be doing. Bids to get in paper for opening at the May meeting. Town park pavilion was broken into on Tuesday PM. They were able to unlock the window from the height of the snowbank and then enter. When they left, they were not able to lock door because of the dead bolt. Everything was gone through. Contacted Lions and others to check to see if items were missing – flag, cookers, nesco or coffee pots. They made a “messy pile” in the toilet bowls. Grass and mowing was discussed. A price from On Course was received by Jim with prices same as last year with a 3% fuel surcharge if gas is higher than $3.00 per gallon.
