Background: • 'The resolution governing the Fire Department, which was adopted
in 1952, is in need of being reviewed and updated to reflect the
changing needs of the department and the city. At the December
16 meeting, the Council established a committee to review the
department's governing documents including the establishing
resolution and bylaws, along with the city's personnel policies,
state statutes and League of Minnesota Cities guidelines, and to
make recommendations on how they should be updated.
• The Council's motion was to appoint a committee consisting of
two Council members (Seefeldt, Crum), City Administrator
Hurlburt, and two members to be recommended by the Fire
Department and appointed by the Council at a later date.
• Nominations from the Fire Department have not yet been received
but are expected prior to the January 6 meeting.
Recommendation: I recommend that the City Council make the appointments.
