W4 MEDEPT „r Fire Board Agenda Item 5 - A
MEETING DATE: February 21st, 2012
AGENDA ITEM: State Fire Convention
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Fire Board has typically authorized 2 members to attend the
Yearly State Fire Convention. This year the convention is in Alexandria Mn, June 14,15,16. Along
with the Fire Relief Assoc., who has already approved 2 members, we have been offering to
send up to 4 members to the convention for the past 20+ years. It is a great opportunity for
members to get some new or advanced training. It also give them a chance to meet with other
members of other departments to see how they handle their emergency calls compared to how
we do them. They then can bring back what they have learned and pass it on to the rest of our
members. I have 2 members that have already signed up to go to this years convention.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of 2 members' Per -Diem, Hotel, Classes ($150.00 per member),
Meals, and Mileage
ATTACHMENTS: No
REQUESTED ACTION: Have the Fire Board approve 2 members to attend the State Fire Convention
