Roads & Trails – Chairman Nevalainen met with Pete Eakman from St. Louis County about our roads. They agreed to try and get the bad dips filled with gravel as soon as they have gravel available and try to address these areas better in the summer months.

Governmental Affairs Meeting – Chairman Nevalainen attended this meeting. He addressed our concern of the lack of communication for our Fire and Ems between St. Louis County, Koochiching County and Voyageurs National Park and the International Falls ambulance. They all agreed that something needs to be done and all are looking for a solution to the problem. Voyageurs National Park representative, Chuck Remus, felt they could give us a radio to leave in our medical rig for communication with the VNP. Koochiching County Commissioners felt that Koochiching County would be getting on board with the Armour system in the near future and International Falls Mayor, Bob Anderson, said he would support whatever it would take to get us connected with the International Falls Ambulance.
Chairman Nevalainen also brought up the concern that there needs to be more established day use sites in the Voyageurs National Park on Kabetogama and Namakan lakes, utilizing some of the nicer beaches and establish other Houseboat site off of the beaches with adequate moorings.
As of right now there will not be any campsite reservation system put in effect in 2013 other than the sites that currently have a reservation system in place. The Voyageurs National Park is looking at implementing the reservation system on the interior lakes in the year 2014. All felt that there should be postings at all the entrances to the park at least one year in advance with information brochures available as to how the process would work.
