2. Website:

Mr. Jarstad said everything is good on the website.

3. Fire Station:

Chairperson Edwards said Commissioner Stevens has been meeting with Dist. 2 and has put together some figures and a design. Chairperson Edwards continued with he thought we should hear form him. Commissioner Stevens said he met with Fire Chief Cooper and Captain Bocken from Dist. 2. They asked if the Port would be interested in building a Fire Station because the De4watto Fire Station has been shot up and broken into so they vacated the station down there. He said the cart they have doesn’t include prevailing wages and certificated pay role. The design is the size of the Firehouse that is needed. We have plot maps and information about the properties. The septic system and the well are not on the lot the building is on. Commissioner Stevens said the well in on lot A and the septic is on lot B. The building is on the lot in front of A & B. Chairperson Edwards said we might want to combine all the lots that would eliminate a lot set backs.

With the design and size is what the Fire Dept. needs for their building, we are at a point where he asked the county if they saw any problem with the proposal.

The next thing we need to do is search for funds for the project. They usually find it for 80%. Commissioner Stevens said at that point we will figure out what is available to us and then we will figure out how we are going to do it. We will then start the process of elimination. Commissioner Stevens said these bids are set up with septic and well, maybe changing that. We might be going with the idea of joining the properties and see what would work with them. At that point if we know what we are going to get for funding, Joe O’Leary is the one searching thing out for us. He is on vacation until after the 8^th; he will call us when he gets back. He is hoping to find a grant somewhere.

Commissioner Steven said if Mr. O’Leary can’t help, we may have to go another route. It was also discussed the way the building should sit, and where. It was discussed about moving the phone box, as well as putting in a coulvert and making another driveway. Commissioner Stevens said it is not out of the question for the Port to take out a loan to do this. It might be what we wind up with. Grants are hard to come by now a days.

Commissioner Steven said he took the first aid class. Chairperson Edwards said the Port purchased the first defibulator that Collins Lake Station had. The Fire Dept. told Chairperson Edwards that they would make sure that the Port had a defibulator on sight and he told them he would hold them to that. Commissioner Stevens said he had spent 4 or 5 days putting all this paper work together

4. New Business:

Commissioner Stevens said we put together a new lease and sent it to Manke. He said we asked for a 25-year lease. Chairperson Edwards said he though we should have a picnic at the Park and invite Manke and the Fire Dept. and who ever else wants to come.

Our next meeting will be May 4, 2010 at 6:30 p.m.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:05 p.m.
