Secretary’s Report:
The
minutes of the April Commissioner’s Meeting were read. Motion was made by Francis Lattizori that
the minutes be approved as read, seconded by Terry Cyr. Motion carried.
Treasurer’s Report: There
was no report.
Chief’s Report:
1.
There
were 11 calls in the last month. The
Chief detailed each.
2.
The
accident involving the New Hartford FD engine was discussed. From discussions with the New Hartford Chief
and others, Chief Lagassie reported that they are looking at the involvement of
Junior Members in emergency responses.
A letter from the CT Department of Labor to Newtown CT was referenced
and made available to the Commissioners.
Chief Lagassie feels that adequate controls and policies are in place
for our Junior Members and these are being enforced.
2.
The
membership status of Jacob Andryzeck was discussed. No response has been received as a result of the letter sent to
him in March. The Commissioners decided
that given the lack of response and his failure to meet the membership
requirements of the Bylaws, the membership of Jacob Andryzeck is
terminated. They directed the Secretary
to send a certified letter to his last known address informing him of this
decision and requesting the return of all equipment.
3.
The
membership status of John Andryzeck was discussed. He has not returned Department equipment as required in the
Bylaws. Pete will discuss with him the
return of this equipment. A motion was
made by Peter North that the question of making John Andryzeck a Lifetime
Member be brought before the general membership at the next monthly
meting. Motion seconded by James
Shanley. After discussion of this
action, a vote was held. The motion
carried.
1.
Peter
North discussed his concern with drivers of apparatus remaining with the
apparatus at emergency scenes. The pros
and cons of this were discussed. The
consensus was that while this may have merit, manpower concerns often dictate
that the driver do other things. Chief
Lagassie would like it to remain a decision made by the officer depending on
the conditions.
2.
Peter
North inquired as to the status of the traffic control SOPs and equipment. Chief Lagassie reported that the SOPs were
still being worked on and the final locations of all the equipment had not been
decided on yet.
3.
Peter
North inquired as to the status of any litigation related to the 9/12/05 fatal
accident on Rt. 44. Chief Lagassie
brought the Commissioners up to date on this.
4.
Terry
Cyr requested that the source document which describes the voting power of the
President be located and made available.
