Black Butte Ranch R.F.P.D
BLACK BUTTE RANCH R.F.P.D. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING September 28, 2017 Rodger Gabrielson called the meeting to order at 09:03 a.m. Board of Directors: Don Bowler Rodger Gabrielson Dave Gibson Tom Sawyer Larry Stuker Administration: Chief Dan Tucker Deputy Chief Dave Phillips Jamie Vohs APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion: Tom Sawyer moved to approve the July 27, 2017 meeting minutes as presented, seconded by Don Bowler, unanimously passed. REPORTS Treasurer Report Larry briefly went through the treasurer reports and inquired on the following line items: uniforms, professional & legal, training and ambulance revenue. Motion: Don Bowler moved to accept the July & August 2017 financial reports as presented, seconded by Larry Stuker, unanimously passed. Chief’s Report – Chief Tucker Fire and Ambulance Report – Chief Tucker The fire and ambulance report will be changing a bit. The current process is lengthy and Chief Tucker hopes to be able to use Intterra more frequently in the future as it will be offering more options. Intterra was a great resource during the fires. There were less medical calls during the times of the fires. It is believed people were more alert and aware of the busyness of the fire department. Chief Tucker discussed: The department was well prepared for the eclipse. Sisters did not see the amount of people that were projected. With that said, it is believed that Black Butte Ranch saw more people than projected. Madras area saw what was expected. D/C Phillips was at the MACC (Multi-Agency Coordination Center) the week of the eclipse and he felt it served the Tri-County area very well. -

Oregon Nordic Club PORTLAND CHAPTER SEPTEMBER 2017 Determined trail tenders on Meadows Creek On August 9, our determined group of nine-and-a-half did not let the warm weather deter us from our mission. We arrived at the Meadows Tie Trail and Ken Wenzel split up into three groups to divide and get the job done. Four of us started at the trail’s end on the Pocket Creek Road, looping off small trees and limbs. The other two started hanging diamonds. To our great surprise, Jim Thornton showed up and helped us loop for an hour and chatted about the Forest Service and how our club was doing. Jim wants to do an overnight trip to Tilly Jane this January with our club. When we got to the creek Jim said good bye and headed back to his truck. We continued on and completed our mission at about 2 p.m. We hung over 50 diamonds and looped off many hundreds of small trees. To finish the day we headed down to the stream cross- ing and had lunch with cold beverages. A job well done! Thanks Jim for coming down to visit.
