Correspondence/Members to be heard—
Belinda Guglielmo requested the FFIB consider more than just Fire Service related classes for tuition
reimbursement. She argued that a class, such as computer courses helps her as a Firefighter also. After a
discussion about the history of the Village Managers view on the subject and board members input, the board
agreed that it fits the criteria. It was agreed that the item would be added to next months budget meeting.
Kevin Nejedlo Stated that the approved budget amount for the purchase of new cable crossover
systems was not enough. This was due to the low trade in amounts offered for our current equipment. The
board agreed that the best option was to increase the budgeted amount by $5400.00. This money is to come
out of the workout equipment replacement fund of$10,000.
Chairman's Report: None

- Total FFIB fund balance $749,919 in the bank, advised by finance director the FFIB is to receive
approximately a little more than $100,000.00 this November.

Status of remaining items being purchased:
a. Red alert lights for basement/workout rooms (4 x $500) The Village's new purchasing director
requested TSI carry a million dollars worth of liability insurance. TSI stated this would be too
expensive of a cost for a small job like ours. Still working with finance to resolve the problem.
Chief Miller stated he would not have a problem with `Current Systems' (Pat Beck's company) bidding
on the job. We were also advised that Public works might be able to assist with installing the lights.

Bench, if so where. Chief says the rear of the station is ok
