CALL TO ORDER

 

An Emergency  meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners was called to order by Board Chair Hesse at 11:38 a.m.  Present were: Commissioner Greg Hesse, Commissioner Lee Boling, Commissioner Jonathan Ferraiuolo - via conference call, and Chief William Walkup.

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

A.  Waiver of Competitive Bidding Requirements - On February 6, 2008, the roof of Station 82 unexpectedly collapsed as a result of adverse weather conditions.  The ability to immediately repair and use the station was imperative to prevent further property damage and to provide for the health and safety of district residents.  District staff began working with the district’s insurance carrier to coordinate and expedite the necessary repairs to the station and to retain contractors with the necessary knowledge, skill, and ability to perform the repairs in a timely manner.

 

Motion:  Ferraiuolo/Boling to Approve Resolution No. 08-01, to declare emergency repairs are required for Station 82, waive the competitive bidding requirements, and authorize the Fire Chief to work with the district’s insurance carrier and enter into one or more contracts with qualified contractors to perform the necessary repairs.   The motion carried unanimously.

 

 

ADJOURNMENT

 

With no further business, Commissioner Hesse adjourned the meeting at 12:50 p.m.
