Comments on the Paid on Call Poll

Wow, didn't expect such a response so quickly. I really appreciate the 2 comments received so far and would certainly like to see more on the subject. Just to clarify, there are no plans to implement any new procedures. At this time, this is simply a poll to see how the membership feels about the idea. Once I receive the information I would like to form a committee to investigate what other departments do, different methods of paid on call or perhaps more incentives such as a fuel allowance or ??????????????? This is wide open right now, so please don't assume anything. My hope is to have a plan in place for the end of 2010. This gives us a year to work something out and provide council time to consider the options and if required, a chance to look at possible increases to the budget. So, keep the comments coming as these will prove very valuable to the new committee. (I will post a sign up list next week for anyone interested) With that, Happy New Year to all of you and your families.
