Fire Board Agenda Item 4 - B
th
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2020
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 at Breezy Point, Mn April 23rd – 25th.
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 ($200/ ff), 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
