CROWVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
P.O. BOX 297
CROWVILLE, LA 71230
Feb.. 5, 2009
Minutes of meeting dated Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009, 7:30 a.m., at Crowville Fire Station.
Board members present: Kelly Clark, Dewayne Hendry, Don Middleton & Colby Peppers.
Guests present: David Arnold, Roy McDuffie.
Business before the board:
1. Financial statement read and approved without change.
2. The La. Cooperative Endeavor grant of $57,000 ($60,000 less 5%) is imminent but suffers procedural delays in the La. Treasury Office.
3. Don Middleton discussed the desirability of declaring some more District equipment as surplus because it is of marginal use at best requiring storage space and insurance costs. Presently, 2 vehicles meet this criteria: 1978 Ford F600 (Vin F60DVBC1450) formerly used as a brush fire truck and a 1989 Ford car (Vin 142937). David Arnold said that the only possible use for the 1978 Ford F600 would be in a water hauling demonstration and it would probably have marginal use there since the District has a new 2009 Pumper Fire truck with a 1500 gallon capacity. The District also replaced this vehicle in 2007 with skid-unit modified flatbed brush fire truck. Roy McDuffie stated that the car is rarely used.
4. After some more discussion, Dewayne Hendry made the motion that the 1978 Ford F600 be listed as surplus equipment, seconded by Don Middleton. Motion passed with no opposition. Kelly Clark requested that the Board delay the sale of this truck until after the next water shuttle.
5. After some discussion the probable need for a 5- to 6-thousand gallon water trailer since the presently owned trailer has several leaks which might be tricky to repair. It is generally known to the Board members that the La. Dept. of Agriculture & Forestry has surplus equipment that might be of interests to the District. Board member Colby Peppers volunteered to research their web site for a water trailer.
7. The Board was notified that about 60% of the parcel fees have been paid.
Meeting adjourned.
