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 April 25 – 28th. 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 gives 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.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The conference cost, the cost of 2 members' Per-Diem, ($150.00 per
member) ,meals , and hotel.
ATTACHMENTS: None
REQUESTED ACTION: Have the Fire Board approve 2 members to attend the State Fire Convention
