Progress

Insurance, Commissioner Hughes

Got a check from the Insurance Company for a total of about $33,000.00 back.

Alarms and Radios, Commissioner Higgins, Jr.

Rich Hanely’s radio was dropped back off.  They could not make the repairs.  He said something from the original program is not right.  Pinnacle came and picked it up and they said they would try and fix it and if not it may still be under warranty and he will get a new radio. 

Trucks and Equipment, Commissioner Sheehan

12 32 12 33 12 34 and 12 35 have all been serviced.  All full set of tires were put on 12 34 and will be putting new tires on 12 33. 

All the other vehicles need to be cleaned which will start September 1, 2015. 

There was some small damage done on 12 31 the other night.  A marker light was broken.

12-2 we sent out for the warranty work.  We are almost done with all the warranty work on that. 

Purchasing, Commissioner Hughes, Jr.

Air bags are in and there is a problem with them. 

Old Business

Commissioner Sheehan brought up that the commissioners have been talking about getting a new roof.  That would be something we will have to get a bid on so we will need to talk to Braslow about getting a resolution.

If we can get any money for the trailer that we should put that money towards the cost of the paving that we need to have done.

The generator in the first aid building that is still open.  We haven’t made any decision with that yet. 

New Business

Progress

Motion to adjourn agenda meeting was made by Commissioner Sheehan and seconded by Commissioner Higgins, Jr. Motion passed by a unanimous vote.
