November 14, 2024 Special Prospect R. F. P. D. board work session

Present: Karen Wickman, Bob Scott, Joyce Dierking
Absent: Clay Thomas, Lon Stockebrand
Call to order 7:00 pm.

The consensus of the three board members present was that in order to make
a Fire Chief evaluation, there must be a job description including a set of
expectations as well as a Fire Chief contract. There are still steps to complete
before this evaluation form can be completed.
Changes to policy book 2 were discussed. The version of policy book 2 that
was sent electronically by Kathleen Conners contained the changes that were
proposed by the board on pages 1-47. There are 248 pages total in policy
book 2 adopted by the board. On further examination, the unanimous
decision of the three board members present was that we discontinue work on
revising the current policy book 2 and look at other smaller fire districts to
find a policy book that more nearly correlates with the size and activities of
our fire district. Karen will reach Butte Falls Fire District, Bob will reach out
to Lake Creek Fire District, and Joyce will contact Evans Valley Fire District.
Two more work sessions are scheduled on December 5th and the 12th.
