FIRE DEPT.
MEETING DATE: May 9th, 2012
AGENDA ITEM: Check out Board
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the last 5 years, we have been using a wax board to have our
members sign out when they are not going to be available to respond to emergency calls. This year,
Sartell Fire and Sauk Rapids Fire have taken this a bit further by going online with a program called "I am
responding ". This is something that each member can access from their phone to mark themselves out
or to let us know that they are on their way, if they are coming from work or out of town somewhere.
There is little cost of equipment , however the other departments have purchased 1 or 2 TV's to mount
on the wall for viewing purpose's.
BUDGET /FISCAL IMPACT: $700.00 for the first year and $650.00 for the next 4 years.
ATTACHMENTS: Yes
REQUESTED ACTION: Discuss with the Fire Board and either get their approval or have them tell us to
get some more information on this and bring it back to our next meeting.
