  • Spring training update: Shane Roden was ask to present his findings on the information for Lake Ozark hosting the next spring training.  Shane reported that he needed an approximate date for the training we indicated late April 2011 for time frame he said he would pass this along to his chief.  Shane reported there were several locations that we could have it in one being one of the local resorts or the community center we could also use the fire department bays for hands on training if needed and briefly discussed the issues with transportation to and from the training site.  Some of the issues discussed where the class rooms that would be needed the equipment needed and catering of the food, we also discussed the need to get Lake Ozark set up as an EVT test site.  The Board gave direction to Shane to take this information back and let us know the details.   --Boyd Powers feels the training opportunity in Lake Ozark was promising and he suggested we move forward with the planning, it was agreed upon to start the fact finding process.
  • Treasure Report:  Steve Stewart gave the board an update on the proceedings with the IRS paper work that he has been working on the last several months.  The forms required by the IRS have been filled out and sent to the CPA for his review with discussions with the CPA he and Steve feel we should be filling the 1024 report.  Steve will be finalizing the report and adding in the CPA recommendations then he will be filling with the IRS as soon as possible.  No one had any opposition to the recommendations and Steve was commended for his hard work on this project.
  • Other Business: Bill Hills reported that he has been in talks with Spartan Chassis who has a very good EVT training program and they have agreed to supply us with training in the future, he will check on Price and clarify the training material they supply.
