• Fire Radio reports

         Jim Feyerherm of Starved Rock Communications talked about the water damage he reported, in the Genoa water tower.  Various aspects were discussed.  Estimated cost for radio repair in the tower is $2,000 to $3,000.  Insurance should pay for some of it.   Rosemier asked about putting up an auxiliary building for the radio equipment.  Feyerherm  said he did not think it was necessary in this case and recommended against it.  We had a  spare radio so the tower wasn’t out long.

           Kross informed the Board that a representative from our insurance carrier, VFIS, wants to tour the various sites where we have equipment insured by them.He asked that Feyerherm be the one to show him around. The Board approved.
