ACSSAR Board Meeting 8/19/14
1900 Meeting start, old business starts with the weapons policy. Dan wants to bring any final drafts to the whole group at the next meeting, Josh brought up that on the form it doesn’t specify if a hard copy Carry Conceal Permit is required. Dan printed out a draft of a proposed policy, after reviewing the draft some changes on wording was suggested and implemented.
Radios: Dan will be making the radio purchase soon, at the meeting we will ask if anyone is going to make private purchase.
High Angle training: there will be another class coming up this Monday.
Fundraising: Matt dropped off the application for McAllister’s fundraiser. The days will be in Sept 8th, 16th, 24th (tentatively). Old Corral Sept 11th will be the next donation dinner day.
Jelm Mtn run, we will have a sign-up sheet at the next meeting for Sept 20th
Training: Search Management; Cathi is still trying to lock up a date for the class, possibly the first weekend in October. 18th is going to be first choice, the 4th will be an alternate.
Donor Plaques: still need to come up with a list of who will receive.
Cathi will be speaking to a congregation at Saint Matthews about service dogs (search dogs) and what she does with them.
Trailer: We still plan on bringing the trailer to the general meeting for training associated. A work day will be planned soon.
New business starts with short haul training, the SO has tried multiple times to get it scheduled but it ended up being an orientation to Life Flight.
Dan is still working on the call out policy
August Meeting will be trailer orientation/training
Red Cross: Brenna briefed the Board on training opportunities for us for fundraising. Red Cross would charge a material fee and we could keep any funds from training outside people for fundraising for ACSSAR. Dan and Brenna will be going to class this weekend to teach and certify for 1st aid CPR. We would need to replace some of our training aids but Dan believes we would still end up making money for the group. Dan’s only concern would be that Red Cross wants us to be able to teach for the whole area. This would be very beneficial for the group no matter what but we need volunteers willing to get the certification and are willing to teach.
Matt will be ordering more shirts soon, he will be confirming which sizes to order and types.
The land nav course was an amazing success, we would like to bring in Russell Clark for even more training, he even proposed a full on mock search for the future where he would bring in all his communication equipment.
