~end of Constitution changes discussion~
- There was a discussion regarding changing the name of "Marsh Lake Fire
Rescue" to "Marsh Lake Emergency Services". It was generally agreed that
the new name would better reflect the mandate of the department, as we do
not train to rescue standards, and we would look silly rappelling out of
helicopters or prancing about in swimsuits as per Baywatch rescue heroes.
- Wray mentioned that the department would need to buy a battery-powered
reciprocating saw for vehicle extrication and that it would cost about
$700, and needed board approval to purchase beyond the $500 limit set out
in the Constitution. Donna made a motion to authorize the purchase of the
saw, Irv seconded, and all present voted in favour.
meeting adjourned @ 2100
Next Meeting: July 10/06
