Old Business:
A. Additional Full-Time Employee - Chief Kopp introduced retired Madison Fire Chief Steven Davis to the board. Chief Davis
shared his background, including that hestarted out as a volunteer. He was in attendance because Nila Frye had inquired
about the district bringing in an outside consultant to assist the fire department in determining their future staffing needs.
Chief Davis believes that Waunakee has grown to the point where a full-time Fire Chief is justified. Gary Endres commented
that regardless of what is done, maintaining firefighter morale is extremely important. Chairperson Pulvermacher said the
