FINANCIAL REPORT:  
Audit Committee: Dan Grove, Dave Clark, and Duane Jordan 
conducted the audit prior to the meeting and Dan reported 
that it all came out Ok. There was a $5 unreconciled entry 
from 2005 that Dan questioned. 
 
Rick provided financial reports for the members and 
reported that due to the changes made this year in the 
school announcement and registration and lower than 
expected school count that lost money on this year's 
school. 
Rick asked the members there for the Ok to move some of our 
money into a 
CD, to earn us interest that we don't get on the checking 
account now. 
Kerry suggested going to a firm such as Edward Jones and 
seeing what's available. 
Rick will get information and email the specifics to the 
board. 
 
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT: 
Rick reported that we have a membership count of 89 
members. Rick is working on a membership dues reminder 
letter to send out to members from last year that haven't 
renewed this year, Dan Grove will try to help with the 
wording on that. 
Rick reported that we had 100% collections on school 
registrations. 
We had a booth at the OFIA conference and the Northwest 
Fire Expo and gave out some information at both events. 
Laurie Hendricks is working on the contract for us with 
Chemeketa but didn't have it ready for today's meeting, she 
will send it to Rick for approval and he will get copies 
to the board for review. Rick reports that since we 
haven't seen this contract yet he hasn't set the hotel 
reservations yet either, but he was informed that we can 
use Tina's catering for the lunches next year instead of 
Chemeketa's catering. 
Rick asked the board to approve a budget the same as last 
years, budget was approved 
 
 
OLD BUSINESS: Rick will check on Hale Pump promised us by 
Hale Products. 
 
NEW BUSINESS: We received an application from the OFDDA to 
sponsor a table at their conference this year, no motion 
was made. 
It was asked about doing the vendor show at OVFA and it is 
too close to their conference to do it this year, but we 
can plan for next year. 
Rick reviewed the committee list and took suggestions for 
changes and will send it to the President for his review 
since the committees are appointed by the President. 
Dan Grove made a motion to pay the Executive Director for 
his work, seconded by Duane Jordan, passed.  
 
GOOD OF THE ORDER: Dan Grove and Duane Jordan will try to 
get cup pictures for next years school cups. 
 
Next Meeting: date was tentatively set for September 8th, 
Time and location to be decided. Site Meter
