NORTHWESTERN SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT MINUTES OF MEETING - JANUARY 2, 2019 BROOKSIDE FIRE STATION - BROOKSIDE, UTAH The meeting was opened at 7:00 PM. Board members present were Steve Haluska, Chairman, Frank Bistolfo, Treasurer, Kathy Tanasz, Clerk, and Kathy Vause, Board Member. Vic Middleton was out of town. 1) Pledge of Allegiance - Led by Steve Haluska 2) Monthly Accounting Discussion - An opportunity to discuss any accounting matters Roger may have for the board. Roger reported he sent out 897 statements totaling $95,550. Steve thought that was a little low but Roger said it's less since we took all the agricultural land out of the equation. Roger got the check from the county. The annual payments should start coming in soon. We transferred $50,000 into savings out of our checking account. We also made our annual loan payment for the Veyo Fire Station. We still owe about $133,000 on that loan. 3) Consent Agenda - The consent agenda is a means of expediting routine matters that come before the Board for approval. The consent portion of the agenda is approved by one (1) non-debatable motion. If any Board Member wishes to remove an item from the consent agenda, that item becomes the first order on the Regular Agenda. Steve asked if there were any items to be reviewed. There were none. Kathy Vause made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda and Frank Bistolfo seconded the motion. All Voted Aye. a) Monthly Expenses b) Monthly Financial Report c) Previous Month's Minutes Regular Agenda Items: 4) Appoint District Officers for 2019 - Kathy Vause asked what this was about as this is her first year on the board. Steve explained it was an opportunity to reassign the board duties to other members such as Chairman, Treasurer and/or Clerk. No one wanted to make a change so Frank Bistolfo made a motion to leave the board members duties the same as last year and Kathy Vause seconded the motion. All Voted Aye. 5) Discuss/vote on hardship cases for standby fees - No one was present for a hardship case. Steve and Roger said they haven't received any telephone calls in a long time. 6) Discuss Veyo Fire Station Wish List - Chris wasn't at the meeting to report for Veyo. Steve asked if anyone had any comments. Kathy T. asked why we can't just do the work like we did in Central. She said she knows Chris tries but the list is over two years old. Steve felt the residents should have some say so in what they want done in the station but it's obvious there is no input. He doesn't want to alienate the Veyo residents anymore than they already are by just going in there and doing the work. Frank wanted to know if this is important. Steve said it's the board's duty to protect and maintain the assets of the district and the station is an asset. It's part of our policies and procedures by resolution so the answer is yes. Chris has reported in the past that Richard Petty was still doing some work in the station. Kathy Vause felt we should prioritize the list. Frank said we could do that and assign some responsibilities to it with some end dates. We do need to update the list, cross off what's already been completed and organize it in order of importance with completion dates. The board decided to type up the list, send it to the board members, they prioritize it according to what they feel is important, bring it to the next meeting for further discussion. We should separate what is just purchases versus contractor work. The board would like feedback from Chris. We also need to put some of these projects out for bid as many of them are not tasks we can do ourselves. Further discussion was had about the overall process. Dan wants to know what the board expects out of all of this. Steve said the goal is to have a decent looking building that functions as a fire station and can be left at a standard that can be maintained as such. 7) Station Chiefs reports - Dan said there were some rollovers, some wrecks, a head on collision on 18, and a structure incident in Gunlock. Dan had to replace the batteries on the brush truck. Steve had the same callouts as Dan. Steve also said in 3 days there had been 6 page-outs. Four were medical they didn't respond to. On yesterday's page the wind caught the door on the engine and sprung it. It wouldn't even close and they worked on it for over an hour. Steve had to take the engine to Enterprise this morning to get it fixed. The Angel Tree project is over for the year and it was a huge success. Central is less 5 firefighters that were not participating so they're down to 10 firefighters now. Central had 100% participation on the Gunlock structure fire. 8) Board Member Comments - Kathy V. said they enjoyed doing the firefighter Christmas breakfast. She would suggest we make it a more party like atmosphere and do it later in the morning. Heather volunteered to help next year. Kathy V. typed up everything that happened as a result of how many were there, who we were expecting, who they were, how we did it plus a flow chart on how the food was laid out so it can be handed over to anybody and they can just do it again and also who the donors were and who cooks good, etc. Kathy T. said the board had discusses a few months ago about next year's breakfast was to be held in Veyo. We can talk about it as the time gets closer for next year. Kathy T. also said we have elections this year. She wasn't sure who was up for reelections. Steve said he would let us know. Declarations for candidacy are due in May. Kathy V. is working on her Chat newsletter and she offered to put something in there about it. Frank didn't have anything. Steve talked about Dammeron Valley. Brooks Pace owns approximately 700 acres of land southwest of upper Sand Cove. He's running an 8' or 10' water line to it. He's got county approval on the water line. He told the county this is irrigation. It's culinary water and now there's a hydrant on the water line. This is the land he's told the State of Utah he wants to develop. This will be an addition to our district. There's potential for a lot of houses, a hotel, rental property, a golf course, a resort, etc. The board needs to look really hard at our impact fee schedule because our current impact fees won't cover down there. They're designated for the Veyo fire station. Steve felt one thing the board needs to look at is if Brooks Pace goes with commercial development out there, he thinks our standby fee structure needs to change. Another concern is, if Brooks Pace goes to the county and requests to subdivide that land we need to require a fire station be put in out there. These are some of the things we need to consider within the next year. Dan asked about curb and gutter. Steve said its county ordinance. 9) Adjourn - Kathy Vause made a motion to adjourn and Frank Bistolfo seconded the motion. All voted Aye. The meeting was adjourned at 7:41 P.M.
