B. Other:
- Budget: The 1993 budget was passed with no
changes. The chief suggested that a board be
formed to deal with budget and staffing for 1993 .
He feels the best person to lead this sort of
process would be someone not too closely involved
in the issues. Moved by Commissioner Grinnell,
seconded by Commissioner Bargher that any action
be tabled for 30 days. Carried unanimously.
8. A. Commissioner Begg distributed copies of a draft
letter that would be sent to volunteer members
regarding the consolidation of the 8 companies into a
single active company. Commissioner Begg will make
some changes, put the letter on letterhead and mail
with a questionnaire to be filled out and returned.
When the results are received, there will be a
meeting to discuss what action to take.
B. At the October meeting the question of training
points was brought up due to the fact of irregular
training. There was a total of 14 in service
training subjects rather than 12 , therefore the
minimum will remain 6 training sessions.
9. Executive session: None

seconded by Commissioner Bargher and carried unanimously
that the meeting be adjourned.
