    How does double taxing community members for the use of fire engines and stations that have been used by ECFPD since 1956, make since?. I am appalled at the use of fire district funds to lease equipment bought for the Fire District and community. You're telling me we can't lease that for $1 or transfer ownership in good faith? Would you buy Land and lease it back to yourself to graze your own cows?

    We have fire stations that are in disrepair.
    Lamoille that has not been updated since it was built and cannot even hold its equipment
    Deeth, floods yearly
    Clover valley that is a bunker built into a hillside
    Ten mile that won't fit the new engines
    Elko area doesn't have a station to park equipment so we have equipment rotting in the sun

    The board needs to step up and make the changes needed I want the commission to answer at the next meetings

    What are you doing to address mismanagement from the CFO and issues from Edie and Bailey Audit
    Cash Minor is trying to mismanage funds by robbing from other districts
    Charging the county citizens for already bought equipment
    Find a new CFO he is no longer looking out for the best interest of the county

    How is this acceptable to the County Fire Administrator to be double charged. Those funds could be going back into an already short staffed department
    She is not doing anything to move forward or gain public confidence

    By agreeing to this lease you're reducing the capability of your department that may respond to your ranch or business?
