BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSION
Special Meeting
June 18, 2012
“APPROVED MINUTES”
Present: Chairman David Simko, Leroy Goff, Richard Brown, Dean Michelson and Richard Dufour
Others Present: Chief Paul Owen, Assistant Fire Chief Marty Swan, Fire Marshal Richard Klotzbier, Joe Guest, Jason Swan, Rob Rainville, Shane Owen, Jason Gosselin, Joe Guest and Andrew Strickland.
Chairman Simko called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. at Company #1 on Barton Hill Road.
- Discuss and Resolve the Awards Program Issue– Chairman Simko stated that 2011 was a rather different year, first there was a hurricane and then there was a snowstorm. So this made incident accounting very difficult. The resulting final numbers viewed from January to February 2012 were adjusted and were very different. At the time of the April accounting the two members in question did make a good year by an executive decision made by the Chairman. Chairman Simko stated that he apologizes to the other Commissioners for making that executive decision. He stated that he felt there was a precedent set and made the decision. Dr. Richard Brown stated that he felt that no apologies were necessary; as he feels that the Chairman did a great job as plan administrator and his decisions were made within the plan guidelines and has handled
it fine. Chairman Simko would like to discuss better accounting and presentation of accounting numbers for the membership to view. If you don’t know where you stand at any point and time it makes it difficult to know if you have had a good year.
Chairman Simko stated that he has come up with some issues which he will go over with the Chief and hopefully the Chief can explain. Dr. Richard Brown stated that in summary there is a disagreement in the numbers but the accounting is what it is and those two people did infact make a good year.
A motion was made by Dr. Richards Brown and seconded by Dean Michelson to adjourn the regular meeting at 7:07 p.m. Vote 5-0 all in favor.
Respectfully submitted,
Kristin A. Olzacki
