We had 13 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 7 calls in the Town of Ithaca and 3 requests for mutual aid. There were 20 EMS calls and 13 fire runs. The month was fairly routine and the calls came in clusters, at one point we went 5 days without a single call, members were asking if their pagers had stopped working. In what we lacked for call volume in March we made up for in training for the department. We held our three recruit trainings and all of the new members also sat through the CPR original class on the second week. It was a very busy two weeks. We are revamping our training schedule at the department. We have been doing many trainings geared toward the interior firefighter and since we have many members who are not interested in reaching that level they have felt left behind. We will now do one each of interior, exterior, EMS and checklist work training through the month. This was well received and made perfect sense to the training staff. All members can benefit from all training but a focus on specific skill sets to each level makes everyone feel included and well trained. The LED lighting project was done in the bays in March. It was an amazing change to that area. All of the lights now work and the areas are well lit. It had been some time since the gear bay had working lights and we gotten used to getting geared up in the dim light. When we were all in that bay after the change over many comments were made about how nice it was to see what we were doing. The main truck bay area had large metal halide lamps on the ceiling and along the walls that took about 5 minutes to warm up and provide full lighting. These were powered by ballasts that weighed about 10 pounds. The ballasts were removed and the lights got direct wired and replaced with LED lamps. The new lights turn on instantly and provide full light as soon as the switch is turned on which is very nice. It is hard to describe how much of a difference this project made in the bays and we are looking forward to the rest of the station being done in June. Fire Department elections were held in late March and the slate is to be presented at the Trustees Meeting in April for approval. All of the chief officers and three of the lieutenants positions have remained the same. FF Mike Garrett was elected to the open lieutenants spot and now gives us a full complement of officers. The open position was vacant after Lt. Irwin Tendler left for a PhD Program at Dartmouth last July. All of the elected officers meet the departments training requirements and have been approved by Fire Council. These officers will be sworn in by the Mayor at the Installation Dinner on April 21st. We look forward to our Installation Dinner in April. This is the one time of the year we all get together to relax for an entire evening. Many former members come in from out of town to celebrate with us. The Lansing Fire Department provides coverage for fire responses for our district for the night and a couple of our EMTs who are not 21 have volunteered to provide EMS coverage. We always look forward to this evening. Sincerely, George Tamborelle Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent 3 EXHIBIT 2019-002 BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Village of Cayuga Heights Board of Trustees approves the following Cayuga Height Fire Department Slate of Officers as voted on by the Cayuga Heights Fire Company and approved by the Cayuga Heights Fire Department Fire Council.
