• Public comment on Mill-levy election:  Nine members of the public were in attendance and watched the video which was produced to explain the need and plan for replacing the 3rd St station with the revenue increase to be voted upon.  The public present were generally very supportive of the mission and performance of SFD.  Concerns expressed focused on cost issues and needs beyond station construction.  A second public meeting will be held on November 13.

The trustees recessed at the end of the 11/2  hour comment period and reconvened at 9 PM for the Chief’s Report (included in the Record).  Notable was the Pancake Breakfast report which tallied 770 breakfast supporters!  Donated revenue will approach $5,000 which is about the break-even figure for eggs and other necessary breakfast food and amenities. 

Unfinished Business:  “Continuity of Governance … Policy”.  Deferred until next meeting.

• There being no further business, reports or announcement, the meeting was adjourned at 9:35 PM.
