OLD BUSINESS:
Unit #482 is in Burlington, ND for the final additions to be complete. Not sure when they will be able to get started on this unit.
The security cameras still need to look into what the department would like to put up. Will address this at a later meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
DES talked to Tom and let him know they would like to remove the fire tone from the siren. Just want to keep the tones for tornado and civil defense. Nov. 10th there will be a meeting to discuss if Plevna and Baker want to keep all three tones for the sirens.
There was a one vehicle wreck 2 weeks ago. When Rescue 7 responded it went into limp mode. They turned it off and started it back up and everything was fine. Not sure what caused it to go into limp mode being it has run fine since. There was some talk may need to look into updating.
Emergency Apparatus sent a bill for the pump test. There was some discussion on this bill and how they would like to handle this bill. Fred made the motion to hold the check and ask for a detailed bill being there was some questions about the amount of labor for one truck. Randy 2nd the motion. Motion carried. All Aye.
