Committee Progress Update
1. Finance Committee:
  ~Brief Budget Update
  ~Tax Waiver Update
  
  Vice-President Smith stated that the cost of insurance will likely increase as we implement the new staffing model as our insurance rates rely on our budget and the number of paid employees. He also commended Corey Brumley at the County Office as being the very best customer service rep our County has on staff.
  We have received a total of 9 waiver requests for the tax exemption. He feels as though there may be many more that have not yet turned in a waiver.
  There will need to be some sort of acceptance or denial of waiver that we send out to those who applied for the exemption.
  We also should make a form to send to those whom were approved as exempt, stating no changes were made concerning their exempt parcels, to make it easier next year.
2. Operations Committee:
  ~ DMV title transfers
  ~ update on organization & numbering schemes
  ~Utilities Transfer
  
  ~Admin Officer Grant reported that all but 4 of the apparatus title changes were completed, we should receive new titles soon,
  ~The new numbering system has been approved by the county and the sheriffs dispatch office.
  ~The utilities transfer is still in process.
3. Admin Committee
  ~Email Update
  
  It was reported that we finally have an email set up for the new districts Board, Chief, and Administrators.
Board/ Staff Communications
