Background:
In 2009,the City Council approved Ordinance No. 117, An Ordinance relating to Fire Prevention and
Protection and Establishing the Scandia Fire and Rescue Department and establishing appointments.
The ordinance reads: "The assistant chiefs shall be appointed by the City Council for a term of two
years ending on March l, 2011 and every second year thereafter. The City Council shall solicit the
recommendation(s) of the chief prior to the appointment of the assistant chiefs. The chief may
appoint other officers within the department for terms not to exceed two years as may be deemed
necessary for the management of the Fire Department, subject to approval by the City Council."
Assuming Ernie Yoch is appointed Assistant Chief,there would be a vacant Captain position to be
filled.

increase.
