The committee reviewed the February claims and recommended that
they be paid.
Discussion regarding the truck bid. The specifications were for a
commercial style truck and the low bid was a Ford "F" series which
was "beefed up" to meet the commercial specs. What Jim would like
is an "L" series (commercial) type of truck. This can be done with
a change order in the amount of $1,271.00. This is still under the
next lowest bid by $2,995.00. Jim recommended to pay the bid as
approved and have a change order for the $1,271.00.
Motion by Bud Johnson, seconded by Gay Easton, to recommend
the change order in the amount of $1,271.00 to Northwest Truck and
Trailer Sales, Inc. Motion carried.
Discussion regarding ambulance training for EMT's. The
Budget/Finance committee concurs with the ambulance committee to
pay the training fee for each new trainee which is about $290 for
each person. Usually the trainee is reimbursed after being an
attendant for 1 year, but most of the trainees do not have the "up
front" money to pay for the training. We need people to train and
become ambulance attendants and this new policy might help
accomplish that. Several people are currently interested and there
is a sufficient amount in the training budget to pay for the
training at this time.
