Council approves transfer to Cal-Trust, hears fire department report
Summary
The council approved creating a Cal-Trust subaccount for Fire Department reserves and recorded a transfer of the reserve account to Cal-Trust (amount recorded in minutes). Assistant Chief R. DeMartini reported 174 calls this year and noted the Forest Service used roughly 18,000 gallons on the Phalen Fire.
The Loyalton City Council on Aug. 20 approved a transfer of Fire Department reserve monies into a Cal-Trust subaccount and recorded the transfer in the minutes. Vice Mayor J. Markum reported the council "can set up a sub account with Cal-Trust for Fire Department Reserve monies," and the minutes record a motion to transfer the Fire Department Reserve account to Cal-Trust. The minutes list the transfer amount as $150,000,000; this figure appears in the meeting text and may be a clerical error given the city's typical budget size and should be verified in the official accounting records.
Assistant Chief R. DeMartini delivered the department's operational report, saying the department has handled 174 calls so far this year and noting high fire danger conditions in the area. He also stated the Forest Service used about 18,000 gallons of water for the Phalen Fire and raised a concern about trash at the Townsend House. Councilmember S. Mcllravy said she will contact the Forest Service regarding the Phalen Fire response, and P. DeMartini volunteered to assist Kelly Champion with preparing the Fire Department budget.
