Old Business:

1. Station 21-2 Roof Project

AC Weatherby informed that he had received bids for a metal roof with warranty at Station 21-2. There is about a $960 cost difference between the two. The bid from Dr. Roof was $28,590.06 plus tax. The bid from DPR was $29,530.80 plus tax. AC Weatherby stated that the architectural shingle product warranty is the same warranty as the metal roof bid – 50 years. The metal roof would be roughly $33,000 and the shingle roof would be $20,000.

Commissioner Long asked if there was anything that we have to keep up on in order for the warranty to be valid.

AC Weatherby stated that he did not know the answer.

Commissioner Downer asked AC Weatherby for his recommendation.

AC Weatherby stated that he personally prefers architectural shingle roofs. It is also less slippery for firefighters.

Commissioner Downer stated that AC Weatherby affirmed the option he was leaning toward.

 

Commissioner Long made a motion to approve Dr. Roof’s architectural shingle roof without extended warranty, seconded by Commissioner Downer. Motion carried.

 

2. Ecological Land Services Letter of Support

AC Weatherby informed that he had spoken to Jay Personious at the Port of Peninsula and asked if signing this letter would affect their business. Personious said that it would have no impact on the Port’s business. Francis from Ecological Land Services currently has this letter signed from the County commissioners and the City of Long Beach. He was hoping for support from us as well.

Chief Brundage stated that he has a concern with signing this letter. The District has never had any dealings with the Army Corps of Engineers. It would be a credibility issue to sign this letter that says we have had difficult dealings with the Corps.

Commissioner Hill stated that we should say we are not interested.

 

3. GEMT Update

AC Weatherby informed that our meeting scheduled for 3/16 was postponed. The number of managed care transports still needs to be obtained. The deadline for the FY2017 has been pushed from 3/31 to 4/30.

 

New Business: None

3. Pub Ed Coordinator Karvia’s report – See attached report

 

PACCOM Admin Board Position:

Commissioner Downer asked Chief Brundage if he would be the most knowledgeable candidate to be on this board.

Chief Brundage explained that the only other non-elected member is David Glasson; however, Mayor Phillips attends meetings when there are important topics to vote on. Chief Brundage stated that he thinks it would be ok to appoint a non-elected official.

Commissioner Long inquired what skill set this position takes.

Chief Brundage stated that one would need a good working knowledge of budgets.

Commissioner Long stated that he would be willing to represent the District on this board.

 

Commissioner Hill made a motion to appoint Commissioner Long to the PACCOM Admin Board as a representative for Pacific County Fire District #1, seconded by Commissioner Downer. Commissioner Long abstained. Motion carried.
