  1. Just so you know the Carmel FD parade scheduled for June 10th, 2011 has been cancelled due to lack of interest by invited depts. The main reason I am hearing is the cost of bands has gone though the roof and depts have to make cuts somewhere.

    Carmel was the second in Putnam to not have a parade this year. Lake Carmel elected to not have theirs earlier this year. Who is next?


  2. from what ive heard they are still currently moving equipment, furniture and company items from the old houses and the temporary relocation station.

    they still have no co for the bldg but the rigs are allowed in for now bu the rooms still need work the radio s are not in yet it was first used on chiefs night in early april no openning yyet planned imfo will follow when available


  3. You stated that the four bargaining units refused to negotiate their contracts, which is simply not the facts and therefore your statement is inaccurate. Wherever you got your info that all four unions refused to renegotiate was wrong. Hence, wrong info = inaccurate statement.

    Two of the four unions had recently settled their contracts and the PBA is not one of them. The town did ask those two unions to re-open negotiations and it didn't happen. The PBA contract expires at the end of this year and negotiations are stalled at present, primarily due to the economic times. I'm sure that the PBA would be open to discuss any options to avoid this layoff, however the layoff was never even mentioned by the town until it was a done deal.

    There is no failure by the PBA to "step to the plate" to help the town or their own members at any time. There are many reasons that led to these layoffs .... blaming the unions is not really fair.

    The members of our PBA are working to help this young officer find a new job. Thanks RWC130 for the info on PPD - we'll be sure to mention it to him!

    does any one know who the officer who is layed off is i have a friend who just started there this year
