[edit] Membership

Still waiting for one board member's Criminal Record Review.

[edit] Equipment

The SAR Truck as not refueled after the last search. The MCP was refueled which it shouldn't have been, because of concern of summer fuel still being in the tank during winter.

The generator in the equipment trailer is difficult to start. There was discussion of who could repair it.

The old generator from the old MCP is likely to be classified as surplus equipment and sold or given away.

Brian is going to drain the Briefing Trailer and MCP of water in preparation for winter.

The Briefing Trailer needs signage, which costs about $200.

Brian discussed purchase of chain saw. He was asked to look first to the Equipment Committee's existing budget, and if that's insufficient then bring it back to the board. There was some discussion of training that would be needed.

Brian emphasized the need to recruit a new equipment manager.

[edit] Adjournment

The next meeting will be October 4 at 17:30 at the Pincher Creek Fire Hall.

Moved by Frank Melo, seconded by Brett Wuth to adjourn. Carried.
