09.b2 Resignation - J Merrier Staff Report Date of Meeting: January 18, 2022 To: City Council From: Fire Chief, Mike Hinz Re: Jerome Merrier Resignation Background: Jerome Merrier joined the fire department on 06/01/2001. Jerome served on the department as a firefighter and EMT. He also served as the treasurer for the fire department relief association. Jerome has given me his letter of resignation effective date of 1/19/2022, which I have included in your packet. He will be retiring with 20 years & 7 months of service to our community. In the past we have had a retirement party before the council meeting, but with remote meeting I am not sure what you would like to do. The relief would purchase pizza and pop and the city would supply a cake and resolution. Issue: Should the Council accept the resignation of Jerome Merrier? Proposal Details: Accept the resignation and continue to recruit new members every year. Fiscal Impact: Minimal impact and will move to a new recruit when hired. Options: 1) Accept Jerome Merrier’s Resignation. 2) Deny Jerome Merrier’s resignation Recommendation: Option 1.
