R.E. Noel's e-mail

Well it sounds like Noel wants to know what the general membership would like them to discuss at the upcoming meeting with management. While it may be somewhat premature to get into all of the issues that we have thrown around to date in this forum, I would encourage a dialogue on the following;


PATROL ROOM

• It is rumored that the land at the bottom of Meadows has been sold. What affect if any will this have on our current situation? What is the long term outlook for remaining in our current location?
• If we stay there what is the possibility of moving the lift-op's out so that we may use the entire building?
• If we are to move what are the options? is our old location going to be available now that the child care is moving out? is ambulance visibility really a major concern (enough to out-weigh customer convenience?)

SNOWMOBILES

• Can we get a commitment for at least one new machine this year?
• What might our options be for a patrol-owned machine?

PATROL LEADERSHIP

• It has been suggested that in the future, we change the way our patrol leadership is selected and how they serve. what is managements feeling on this?
• How does management foresee the relationship between the paid patrol and the NSP?

UNIFORMS

• What is managements feeling on our current uniforms?
• Would Boyne be willing to share in the cost of developing / supplying a new patrol uniform?

FUND RAISING

• Would Boyne be willing to donate passes to the patrol as a fund raiser?
• Could the Patrol place vending machines at Disciples Ridge as a fund raiser?

MEMBERSHIP

• What does management think of the idea of expanding the roster?

These are just a few thoughts....... hopefully more of you will have ideas to post....lets hear it!

P.S. I am glad to hear that the toboggans have been scheduled for refurbishment..count me in for the work bee!
