Donna gave President's report. Election issues, discussion about procedure, not people. The issue in April was the first use of our constitution as a tool. However, we still need to clarify some things. Our constitution holds as much weight as Yukon Government ambulance department procedures. We need volunteers to work on our constitution. There are on call compensation equality issues. There has been discussion about some responders from fire not being compensated for medical calls. There is a suggestion that the paperwork is filled properly for both fire and medical. Make sure the monthly report matches the dispatch reports.

Motion by Dave: Write a letter, based on details of prior documents from Association of Yukon Fire Chiefs detailing items requested on lack of on call parity issues. Seconded by Ed Shiffkorn. PASSED
