Incidents

  2. Daisy Creek - August 25 - PCSAR tasked to assist CNP Fire Rescue and Blairmore RCMP to search for missing fisherman. PCSAR was stood down shortly after arriving on the scene as the subject was located by helicopter.
  3. Billing Changes - What should PCSAR be billing tasking agencies for? Currently, we have a policy of bill-back for all expenses to the tasking agency. This can be time-consuming for both organizations. Do we want to set a mileage, cost or similar threshold before we bill?

  1. Grants - AGLC report is due this week. Community Foundation Grants are re-opening do we want to put in an application for a program, board training, or a capital project? Ground SAR Grant application due Sept. 15. Action: Board members will make suggestions as to potential projects.
  2. Bookkeeper and Process Changes - LawSin Accounting has recommended changes to processes we use in Quickbooks to reduce the repetition of tasks and increase transparency for members and auditors. This includes changes to how bills are entered and the Mastercard is reconciled. These changes will not impact the actual finances. The administrator will need to transfer funds from the ATB Casino account to the ATB Chequing account on a monthly basis. Action: Sabrina and Igor will discuss the best way to do this.
