James Stonebraker Is Consistent!
That's consistently a Hypocrite! I understand the South County Truth Spot has some information from a recent deposition of a Mehlville Firefighter. Wasn't it just a month or so ago Stonebraker was condemning me for writing about a deposition? Wasn't he suggesting that I should fear the wrath of the judge in the case for releasing just such information? Perhaps Stonebraker knows I didn't do anything wrong or perhaps he feels that Mrs. Stonebraker's employment with former federal prosecutor Catherine Hanaway and John Hancock will protect him. Either way, Jimbo, you're a hypocrite. But at least you're consistent.

Mr. Ryan made a motion to donate the truck to South County Tech. Mrs. Stegman seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved.
Mr. Hilmer recognized David Hope, Director of South County Tech Fire & EMS Academy. Mr. Hope indicated that the Academy would be re-lettering the exteriors of both donated trucks to acknowledge Mehlville Fire Protection District’s donation.

Mr. Hilmer recognized Paul Alvino, a resident of the Mehlville Fire Protection District, who requested paramedic assistance with transportation to the hospital last Saturday. Mr. Alvino praised the professionalism and care of the two Fire/Medics who responded, Darren Knight and Joe Danner.
Mr. Hilmer then made a motion that a closed meeting be held for the purpose of discussing personnel, legal and real estate matters immediately following the adjournment of the regular meeting.

Mrs. Stegman stated that approval of the Board Meeting minutes for July would be postponed until the next Board meeting.
Chief White updated the Board on the Fit for Duty and showed a DVD of the timed portion of the test. He has been working with ProRehab to finalize the full test and will present the completed package to the Board at a future meeting.
Mr. Ryan discussed #1 House landscaping. Farinella has provided an estimate of $3,170 for removal of the honeysuckle and planting of evergreen shrubs. Mr. Ryan made a motion to accept the bid of $3,170 from Farinella Landscaping. Mrs. Stegman seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved.
