3. ACTION ITEMS:

   1. Approval of agenda - Commissioner Johnson made a motion and was seconded by Commissioner Curtis to accept the agenda. The motion passed unanimously.

   2. Form a committee for new building construction

      1. There would be a lot of extra work as a committee would need to create and publish agendas and minutes.

      2. The committee would be able to make recommendations but the decisions would be made by the board. The commissioners could also delegate activities to other people to help the project.

      3. It would be good to have one of the firefighters as part of the committee or should at least consult the firefighters during the building process to hear their opinions.

      4. Commissioner Curtis made a motion to form a committee for the construction of a new station with Commissioner Johnson as the committee chair. Other members of the committee could be added as things progress and the members of the board would serve as ad hoc committee members. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Johnson and the motion passed unanimously.

   3. Approve a general footprint for the new building

      1. The draft proposal of the building would be a general footprint of 120 feet by 80 feet with 4 bays of 2 vehicles deep plus offices, storage and training areas.

      2. A draft drawing of the building is attached to the minutes.

      3. A motion was made by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Curtis to approve the general footprint as laid out in the chief’s drawing. The motion passed unanimously.

   4. Select a contractor for new building

      1. We are waiting to hear back from Morton Buildings and the leasing company for updates on a building schedule and for a proposal.

      1. Idaho State Code section 31-1420 deals with the sale of fire district property.

      2. The old tender is estimated to be valued at over $10,000 therefore, by code, the property must have 2 independent people not on the board to evaluate and set an estimated value for the property.

      3. The sale must also be published twice at least 15 days before the sale in a local publication.

      4. Rich Foster and Mark Brood were assigned by the board to evaluate the value of the old tender.

4. PUBLIC COMMENT - No members of the public were present.
