Old Business:
Jackie reported
that the district is still under negotiations with Reedsport and they have
another meeting scheduled for January 13, 2014 to continue discussions. If needed, they will have an interim
agreement by the end of the year, but that doesn’t seem to be required at this
point. She has had no new information
regarding the MAO from the DEQ and no update on the funding application other
than that Garrett is working closely with Becky Bryant and they are still on
track for getting it done.
Ray got a call
from Matt Wadlington of Civil West requesting a listing of any work that he is
aware of that needs to be done that could be covered by the grant money if
there is any extra available.
Safety Meeting:
Ray has
submitted responses to OSHA’s questions on the procedures manual and is
awaiting any further input.
New Business:
Ray reported that he has installed new
batteries in the chatterboxes in case of a power loss. Also, the valve replacement project is
pretty in depth work but he is going to try to replace all 4 valves at the
firehall tomorrow night as he has tried to anticipate any problems that might
come up when he gets into it and is fairly confident that he has everything in
place to get it done in one night.
