Change in Duty Uniform: A meeting with the Mayor was held on July 13, 2004 <br />· <br />regarding a proposed change in duty uniform. A sample will be brought to the <br />next meeting. This proposal comes from the members in the HFD. They would <br />like to keep the light blue uniform as a dress uniform and use for formal <br />functions, but would like a more practical work uniform for daily activities. The <br />design and prototype came from the members. Input will be solicited. The <br />Mayor is very supportive. This uniform will maintain visibility with clear <br />identification and recognition that personnel are fire fighters. This uniform will <br />separate them from looking like certain security organizations and the post office <br />employees. <br /> Volcano: Working with National Park service on acquiring a fund to provide an <br />· <br />apparatus.
