8. DISCUSSION & ACTION ITEMS

   1. Station 1 Expansion: We have yet to do a final walkthrough. The contractors are addressing cleaning, filling a hole in the wall, and repairing concrete. Someone came to sand down the concrete fill. No drop cloths had been put down when they painted. Noted that department members cleaned instead of the contractors. We still need to have two small concrete pads poured for the exterior mandoors. Commissioner Johnson’ acquired a bid for rain gutters for the amount of $500.00. The property needs to be replotted and we have an engineer working on it. We will not be able to get a certificate of occupancy until the engineers acquire the permit to plot it. 

   2. Station 1 Doors: All garage doors are repaired and in good working order.

   3. Station 2 Building: Commissioner Johnson did a walkthrough, construction is going very well. Still behind from the flooding, other material was needed to backfill as the clay was not suitable. The contractors will not meet their December 20th completion date, but all sewer and water will be completed. The crew will understandably not be working over Christmas. 

   4. Crew’s Quarters - Utilizing the building for training, particularly EMS scenarios.
