ity of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item # 6.5. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Bruce A. West, Fire~~) <br />December 14, 1998 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Addition of Firefighters <br /> <br />The Elk River Fire Department is requesting Council approval to advertise <br />for the addition of three firefighters due to the resignation of three past <br />firefighter members. As a result of firefighters changing jobs, resigning for <br />personal reasons, and/or moving to another community, we are now three <br />firefighters short of our full roster of 35 paid on-call firefighters. <br /> <br />With the approval of the City Council to add three new firefighters to the <br />department, we will start the process of advertising for the position of paid <br />on-call firefighter for the department. <br /> <br />I anticipate the process of hiring new firefighters to take approximately three <br />months after the screening of applications, interviewing potential candidates, <br />returning to the Council with the names of potential candidates, firefighter <br />physicals, and stress tests. I will be in attendance at the December 14, 1998, <br />council meeting to answer any questions in reference to the addition of <br />firefighter candidates for the Elk River Fire Department. If you have any <br />questions before the meeting, please feel free to call me at the office at <br />441-4919. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
