Public Hearing: Acting Chairman, Dale Askew, opened the Public Hearing regarding the 2026 Tentative Budget Request previously submitted at the last Board Meeting held on August 31, 2025. Dale then presented the line items to be included in the permanent 2026 budget with most of the resulting discussion centered around the line item for Capital Outlay. $130,00 of that line item for a new structural engine was discussed in detail. Chairman Paul Martino indicated that he would check with sources available to him for the new engine and with the plan to purchase outright over the course of the next month or two. Dave Johnson also indicated he would pursue the cost of the equipment and ongoing monthly fee for a Business StarLink internet service for the Mammoth Creek Fire Station. Dale then closed the public hearing portion of the meeting and called for a motion to approve the 2026 budget as submitted. Dave Johnson moved for approval with a second from Dick West.
Meeting Frequency: The proposal to add a fourth annual meeting to address timely approvals for equipment purchases and capital outlay was held over until the next meeting in May of next year in order that a full board in attendance could consider this matter then.
Board 2026 Meeting Schedule:
Saturday May 23, 2026 9AM MST Memorial Day Weekend.
Sunday September 6, 2026 9AM MST Labor Day Weekend.
Saturday November 7, 2026 The Board will also conduct a Public Hearing on
the 2026 Tentative Budget Request. This November meeting occurring so late
in the year is difficult for many of the Board Members to attend so it was
discussed that we would set up a Zoom Chat session so that members could
attend electronically. Dave Johnson volunteered to assist in setting this up next
year.
All meetings will be held at the Fire Station
