COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Security :
CVECO Manual Security: Dan Overy reported on the work of his committee and the compromise they reached. In response to concerns raised by Cal Gardner, the manual was removed from the public sector of the website and placed in the member�s only section. The committee recommended that the manual be reviewed by a special committee who would remove any �sensitive information � that it contained and that the � security edited� manual could be placed back in the public sector. It was decided that Cal Gardner chair and appoint members to this review committee. ACTION ITEM : Cal Gardner

FIRE:
Chief Richard Boyes reported on the proposed changes to the code 9�s. These changes came about as a result of work done on the Central Industrial Fire Station project, and are designed to decrease the amount of response time by Industrial responders of which there are six companies. The recommendations are as follows;

1) Code 9: This code remains unchanged and using it brings assistance.

2) Code 91:
This code allows for the incident commander of the initiating company to request a specific piece of industrial equipment from one of the responding companys who will dispatch this equipment upon hearing the code.

3) Code 92: This code will only be used when it is immediately apparent that all available equipment will be needed such as in the 1996 tank 11 fire. Upon hearing this code, all six responding company's will dispatch a vehicle and two firefighters to the initiating company. Chief Boyes stated that five of the six responding companies have agreed to this proposal.

RESPONSE REVIEW: George Hatfield reported that the number of codes year to date was 128 and that the complience rate was 96%. The most common errors were lack of information in some sections of the checklist and use of the old form. He reported that this would be his last report as he no longer had the time to devote to the committee due to increased regional responsibilities at his company.
