06.f Staff Report Rydeen Captain
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: June, 15th 2021
To: City Council
From: Mike Hinz, Fire Chief
Re: Promotion of Eric Rydeen to Captain
Background:
Eric Rydeen joined the fire department in 06/02/2012. Eric has been filling the interim Captain
position for the last few months. With the reassignment of Travis Loeffler to firefighter and the
fact that Eric has been filling the captain position currently, we feel that he would be a good fit
for promotion to captain.
Issue:
Should the city promote Eric Rydeen to the Captains position?
Proposal Details:
If Travis Loeffler is reassigned to firefighter we would move Eric Rydeen to Captain. We would
like to have this be retroactive to June 1st as this is when duties changed internally.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact would be the elimination of the interim Captain position. The savings would be
$1,200 per year.
Options:
(1) Promote Eric Rydeen to Captain effective June 1st.
(2) Assign to a different role
(3) Do nothing
Recommendation:
Option (1).
