Juneau Fire Department votes to split RRS funds, approves routine minutes and reports
Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting, the Juneau Fire Department accepted standard business — agenda, minutes and treasurer's report — and approved reallocating RRS account money with $2,000 to a 9/11 account and $2,000 toward thermal imaging cameras.
Chief Eddie Weiss called the Juneau Fire Department to order on Jan. 21, 2026. Members moved and carried routine business: approving the agenda (moved by Brian Smedema, seconded by Dan Jahnke), accepting the previous meeting minutes (moved by Dan Jahnke, seconded by John Schuster) and accepting the treasurer's report (moved by Dan Jahnke, seconded by Joel Schaalma).
The meeting recorded a personnel change and a funding decision. Dan Jahnke resigned from the RRS committee and moved to reallocate funds held in the RRS account. The department voted to split the account: $2,000 will be transferred to the department’s 9/11 account and $2,000 will be set aside toward purchasing thermal imaging cameras (TICs); the remainder will stay in the RRS account. Curt Ninmann seconded the motion and it carried.
No roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting record; minutes state each motion "carried." The record does not specify the exact remaining balance in the RRS account after the transfers.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn by Dan Jahnke, seconded by Dan Wegener, which carried. The minutes were submitted by Jay Schaalma, listed as Secretary Treasurer.
