Chief’s Report:

            1.  Firefighter Recognition – Linda states that a lady came in to thank Dave (Tyrrell) and John (Busscher) for their help with a problem she had, and that people coming in for the hurricane tags have stated what a good job the guys are doing.

2.  Monthly Report – March 2011 presented.  

            3.  Inspector’s Report – March 2011 was presented.

4.  Matlacha Station 4 – Station 4 Committee met and is having another meeting May 4th; they will have a preliminary report to you at the May Regular Meeting.

5.  Lee County EMS – Chief Bradley gives update: Meeting with Commissioner Manning & Dickerson was cancelled and will be meeting with them next Tuesday. Basically to make sure the commission understands about the paramedic (St. James Paramedic) on the truck, my understanding is that the paramedic is not on the chopping block, as it was, they kept it in the budget. Make sure he understands what is going on and if they ever decide to take the paramedic please wait until the bridge is done. I don’t know what kind of budget they are looking at but they are probably like everyone else and will have a short fall.

Public Comment:  General – Nothing presented.

 

Good of the District: Chief Bradley states end of May we will be getting the report from the firefighters and June we will get our estimated taxes so we will start on the budget.

Commissioner Peckinpaugh questions maintenance of trucks with Chief Bradley to reply that Jimmy does a very good job and we have always kept records on the trucks, he does a very good job.  Deputy Chief Marzella states he has a notebook on every truck that shows all repairs done on the trucks. Brief discussion of how process with repair orders follows. Deputy Chief Marzella states he not only maintains the vehicles but he does all the general maintenance, plumbing, and mowing. Chief Bradley states everybody wears different hats other than what their job is.
