TSVFD Department Meeting JUNE 25, 2007
Station Issues • Station 1 • Small roof leaks developing. 1 in the corner of the conference room and the other to the right side of the main entrance door. Warko has been contacted and will be looking into the problem. • Warko will also be investigating the issue with water running down the wall into the camera at the rear entrance. • Looking into the installation of electric ice melting cord to prevent ice from dropping off the front of the building.
Station Issues • Station 1 • Danny Geer’s brother will be coming to look at the damage to the cement curbing on the east side of the engine pad & also the pavement walkway at the exit door on the west side of the building. • Magnetic white board project is in progress. Thank You to Lisa Ragonese for completing the name tags. The decals are being completed by Brown’s. Names will be placed in Platoons. When attending training or meetings be sure to put your name in the attendance area. The OIC will designate you to a piece of apparatus.
Station Issues • Station 2 • Danny Geer’s brother will also be looking into the work required to install the air conditioner and place a bid.
Station Issues • Pole Barn Status • The pole barn issue is not dead yet. Our next move is to go seek bids to see what prices would be for prevailing wages. There is a possibility of scaling down the size of the building to fit our budget. • As a temporary resolve, Danny Geer, head trustee at the West Wyomissing Fire Company, was contacted about the possibility of renting the east side bays. He states that they have plans for that side of the engine room and would contact us if there were any changes.

Gould has contacted an outfit in Texas to provide these services. • Fire Hydrant Adapters • The fire hydrant adapters have been ordered. Unfortunately the company manufacturing the adapters put the wrong fittings on the caps. This mistake will push the delivery time back about 2 weeks. ** I would like to make the installation of these caps a department wide project **
