To: City Council
From: Mike Hinz, Fire Chief
Re: Peter Nora 40th Anniversary
Background:
Peter Nora joined the New Scandia Fire Department April 1st 1983. This year will be Peter’s 40th
year of service with Scandia, I feel that this is a major achievement and should be recognized.
Peter has served as Fire Training Captain 2 different times during his career. He also served as
Assistant Fire Chief.
Issue:
Should the City Council celebrate Peter's 40-year anniversary?
Proposal Details:
I recommend that the city give Peter the Good Neighbor Award and have an appreciation party
before a Council meeting to consist of pizza & cake. Peter’s anniversary is April 1st, but Peter is
not available to attend either of the April Council meetings so I recommend that we celebrate his
anniversary at the May 16th Council meeting. I recommend having a celebration start 30 minutes
before the Council meeting, then have the presentation at the beginning of meeting, then pause
the meeting to let everyone that wants to exit to the large room for further socializing.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact would be $30 for cake and $30-40 for plaque. The Fire Relief Association will
cover the cost of the pizza.
Options:
(1) Approve appreciation party as outlined
(2) Decide to do something else to show achievement for years of service.
(3) Do not approve
Recommendation:
Option (1).
