Mr. Fulscher presented the October 2015 call report. (attached) (NOT PRESENT ONLINE)

Yearly Exercise - Mr. Storer stated the program and attendance of this year's exercise was outstanding.

Truck Bids - Two bids for a basic 6 cylinder, 4 wheel drive were received. Both bids meet the bid specifications and are eligible for reimbursement on fuel and maintenance. There is $15,000 in the budget and ETSB will pay $9, 138. A motion was made by Mr. Rohlfs, seconded by Mr. Blankenship, to accept the Chevrolet truck bid for
$24,138. Motion passed.

Old Business: Mr. Fulscher reported receipt of a letter regarding state-owned Motorola base stations that were destroyed by lightning damage that should have been returned to the state but ended up recycled on accident. The letter stated EMA owes $11,000 on the radios and $7,000 for usage. A response from EMA is a formality as Logan County is named the fiduciary for the grants, but it was a grant funded MCOM product that was damaged, so the fee can be paid out of the local side of the grant money that EMA operates, possibly from the ISMA budget.

New Business : Mr. Fulscher reported $2,000 turned back in.

A motion was made by Mr. Rohlfs, seconded by Mr. Farmer, to pay the bills as presented for payment. Motion passed.
