New Business Commissioner Costa asked about thoughts on consolidation of Fire District 1 & 2 and asked that the Commissioners seriously begin to consider consolidation. Commissioner Costa asked Mr. Braslow for the statute which is enabling district consolidation so that the district can look into it further. Tinton Falls Fire District 2 s concern appears to be debt that would be taken on from District 1 although Commissioner Costa feels that our debt is equal to or lower than District 2 s debt. Additionally, the tax rate would probably go down in District 2 with a consolidation.

3 Commissioner Donohue explained that , and Station 3 do not have AED devices and asked for the district to purchase three (3) AEDs. Three quotes were provided (attached) with Team Life having the lowest quote and being on state contract. There was discussion about adding a new manufacturer s AED s to the District but Commissioner Costa explained that as a whole the Borough of Tinton Falls has standardized on the Team Life AED s, this includes the EMS, Police Department, Borough Hall and other Fire District 2. Commissioner Costa asked what the District is doing about state mandated training on Whistleblower and Sexual Harassment in the workplace. Did we do it? It appears that the training can be done on NJ Learn for free and all Fire Fighters in NJ should have access to it already Motion to adjourn the Regular Meeting was made by Commissioner Hawkins and second by Commissioner Calvo.
