Jeff handed out assorted forms for the Fire and Emergency Dept. Then proceeded to go through each on. The first was the revenue for the Fire Dept and also the Ambulance for
Contract to Coos Cty from Jan 09 through Aug 09. This money goes into the general fund.

Then next page was for the Ambulance revenue for Jan through Aug 09. 80 % of this goes into the SRF and 20 % goes into the general fund.

The third page is the 2009 budget to date. We should be at 71% of the way through our year and they are presently at 64.50 % of their budget. He went over the lines that were in the negative, explaining that the amounts that they had asked for on the 2009 budget had been cut back and that is why they are in the negative. He said that they switched from the Fairpoint to Time Warner, so now they get one bill for cable, phone and internet.

Jeff said that the FD maintenance line 604 had also been decreased and that there are several items every year that are on that, such as the generator maintenance agreement.
The forestry equipment 660 was part of a grant and most of the difference has been put back into the general fund.

EMS Training 725 will be coming in soon. That comes to $175 per person for 13 people and Fire training for 2 people for $610.00 each.
