Upon a motion by Mr. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Collins and carried, the request <br />for leave of absence was denied. <br />FILING OF MONTHLY STATISTICAL ANALYSIS REPORT — DECEMBER 2014 <br />Fire Chief Stephen Cox submitted to the Board the monthly report for December 2014 compiled by <br />the Prevention/Inspection Bureau of the Fire Department. Chief Cox noted that during the holidays <br />there is typically an increase in fires, but this year property damage was relatively stable. Chief Cox <br />stated he attributes this to public outreach the Fire Department has been doing with the distribution <br />and installation of smoke detectors. He stated the information went out in the water bills andthe Fire <br />Department had a tremendous response from the community. He informed the Board there were no <br />fire fatalities in 2012 and just a handful in 2013 and 2014. Chief Cox stated the goal this year is for <br />no fatalities. He noted the smoke detector program allowed the Fire Department to get into homes <br />and have discussions about fire safety and response that would not have happened otherwise. Chief <br />Cox noted some of the smoke detectors were purchased through a grant the Fire Department did, and <br />continues to do, and some were secured through funds from a partnership with the Red Cross. Ms. <br />Vasquez stated if there were no objections, the Board would accept the report for filing as presented. <br />A summary is as follows: <br />DECEMBER <br />DECEMBER <br />2013 <br />2014 <br />STRUCTURE FIRES <br />Property Damage -- Buildings & Contents <br />(Estimates <br />$147,250.00 $176,920.00 <br />INSPECTION DIVISION <br />173 Inspections <br />334 Total Inspections <br />(62 Re-Inspections) <br />(90 Re-Inspections) <br />INVESTIGATION DIVISION <br />16 <br />9 <br />Investigations <br />Investi ations <br />I Incendiary <br />1 <br />5 Accidental <br />Arson <br />l Natural <br />2 Undetermined <br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR <br />Chief Teachman introduced Captain Robert Hammer who addressed the Board regarding the <br />establishment of a draft policy for the Board to review regarding the Armadillo nuisance vehicle. <br />
