Nothing to report from the Lummi Island Fire Commissioners. Our fire siren was sounded last month and will continue to be done on a monthly basis (last Saturday of the month at noon.) Now that we have access, the fire siren has been re-wired and will be reconnected after the Whatcom Chief returns. The Evacuation map has been put back up in the Clubhouse. Hopefully all members will study it and think of their own route of evacuation if there is ever a need to do so.
A notice was put up on the Scenic Estates chalkboard as well as several sites on the Island for donations of blood and cash to help the Red Cross through this disastrous time.

NEW BUSINESS:

This initially was set up with the County but the union that operates the ferry has stated that it is against the union contract so they were not able to do it from the ferry dock.

This has been brought up to the Board and there are various opinions that have been received. Discussion followed. See motion 2001/9/7.
