a. Village Manager approved 2005 Budget; it is still to be reviewed by the Village board. Chief fills
the only thing in question will be the Wallet Badges. Chief Goostree stated that while talking to
Asst. Village Manager Ray Rummel he explained that one of the benefits of the wallet badges
would be a verifiable identification if a firefighter needed to assist at a medical scene or a need for
emergency assistance. Chief stated he pointed out that the Village Rules& Regs 6.2 actually
requires us to act in the Village or in the state of Illinois if we come upon a need while off duty.
