Temporary electricity for food pantry:
Boyd or Emma can explain why power is needed for the food pantry. The discussion at the November meeting should be updated.

Forest Restoration Projects:
● Chris D and Kent will be meeting with Maya MacHammer the week of December 14 to identify strategic areas that would be beneficial from a fire suppression standpoint. In addition, we will need to start looking at ways we can reach out to the community to educate and address concerns that may come up this Spring regarding burning piles in Spring 2022.

Grants:
● Marcus Moench, Kris Gibson, Chris D and Kent are working on looking at immediate/short term grants to provide legitimacy for department grant requests in the future. In addition, they are looking to create an overall strategic document based on a previous document that Kris Gibson created which will help with applying to grants. This document will entail town history, role of the department, role of other departments, social and political landscape, hazards, changes in landscape, changes in funding, town goals, town buy in, etc. Kent and Chris D recommend looking at creating or expanding a grant subcommittee which would take on these tasks.

WiFi for Fire Barn:
● Marcus Moench is currently working on possibly using fiber from the school’s wifi to expand service which would provide a range of wifi that would reach the fire barn.

Possible 2020 Projects: New Technologies:
● Emma Dirolf is working with Chris D, Kent, and Dwight Debroux (Whitey, a new volunteer with Gold Hill Fire) to provide them training and login credentials for using Arc GIS online for a collector app used for structure protection. This project will require the purchase of iPad for conducting structure protection mapping in the district. Emma Dirolf is also working on looking for grant money for that with Chris D. The intent of this project is to introduce new technologies which would allow volunteers to have access to important information regarding structures in the district and the surrounding landscape which would increase personnel safety, quicken incident responses, and provide a higher level of service.
● This group will be working with Emma in the next few weeks to begin trials and practice using the application.
