Another Boles VFD meeting 9/9/10: Something I didn't know - calls to the departments are tallied up by the State Fire Marshall/State EMS. State funding to each VFD is based on number of calls received. Dog Canyon services come under umbrella of Boles Acres. Three members of Dog Canyon were in attendance. Asst.Chief Pete Tissley conducted the meeting. Met Chief John Bajar at the Otero Work Session the following morning.

Went to Dog Canyon to deliver a yard sign and ending up placing three. The community, like Boles Acres, is very receptive to the idea of being treated fairly. Apparently, the Corps of Engineers is ready to do a study on the escarpment near Dog Canyon. This came to light at the work session. That is the good news. The bad news, the county will be required to do a "2-foot" survey prior to that and the current estimated cost is $120K - and the "county doesn't have it".
