Report from Fire Chief / Dept.:
Jeff stated they received a matching grant from the DNR in the amount
of $ 2,800.00. They plan to purchase flashlights, foam injector and
coveralls. He stated their air tanks are outdated and they will see if
they can borrow some for awhile, and he said they purchased an AED out
of the Fire dept. fund of donated money.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Scott Decker asked several questions to the Fire Chief Jeff Bowe:
1.) Are you billing for calls? Jeff said yes when they can. You can
not bill if you have Mutual Aid.
Scott said he should be billing so the Dept. has money coming in to
help cover cost.
2.) Who are the First responders? Jeff said Rocky, Bridget, Greg, Ruth
and Scott.
Scott Decker said Scott McCann is rarely in town to go on calls.
3.) Has he applied for any grants? Jeff said yes for the DNR, which
Decker than asked how long did it take, Jeff replied a couple of
hours. Decker asked if they have applied for any FEMA grants Jeff
again said 1, Decker asked how long did that take Jeff said Rocky
filled it out and it took 8-12 Hours. Decker stated he talked to the
Fire Chief from Anson and it took 2 Firemen 100 hours each to apply
for a FEMA Grant evidently Rocky is not doing them correctly, that’s
probably why we never get any money.
4.) Anson and other local Fire Depts. are getting grants.
Decker also stated that the Fire Department is owned by the tax payers
and he or anyone can ask questions or request for information when
they want.

townships that have ATV trails do not have the same language in there
Ordinances and she wishes they all could be the same.

for the Eagle Prairie subdivision where they live there is supposed to
be a cul-de-sac and the road are not graveled properly, The Chairman
told them it is up to Howard Dressel who sold them the lot because he
is the one that did not finish the subdivision. The road is not a town
road because it is not to town road specifications. Fred said road
signs were put up, he was told road signs were put up so emergency
vehicles could find there home. The Chairman will check with an
attorney to see who is responsible. (Tabled)
