Commissioners approve lobbying policy and three fund augmentations; consent items passed
Summary
The Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District board approved an employee lobbying policy and adopted three resolutions to augment district funds; the consent agenda was also approved.
At its April 1 meeting the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Board of Fire Commissioners approved several routine and administrative items.
The board voted to adopt a Truckee Meadows Fire employee lobbying policy for state-legislative activities. The policy was presented as requested at the prior meeting, reviewed by legal staff and modeled in part on Washoe County policy. A motion to approve was moved and seconded; the board voted to approve unanimously on the record.
The board also approved three district resolutions—TM-02-2025, TM-03-2025 and TM-04-2025—to augment the general fund, capital projects fund and EMS fund. Staff said the augmentations recognize EMS donations for CPR devices and mannequins, debt-proceeds accounting for Station 37, and reimbursement revenues under an MOU with Apple for station costs. A staff member asked for the motion and the board voted to adopt the resolutions.
The consent agenda was approved earlier in the meeting without public comment.
