fire inspector/administrative assistant. Our fire inspection bureau will rely on <br />and enlist the services of the part-time inspectors to assist in conducting fire <br />inspections throughout our commercial and industrial facilities. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> <br />I have given a great deal of thought to the pros and cons of both the fire <br />inspector position and the fire inspector/administrative assistant position <br />during the last several months. I have discussed the full time employee <br />position with my first assistant chief Mike Trunnell, as he is my second in <br />command. The position has also been discussed amongst the other officers of <br />the department and also the firefighters. At this time I am requesting council <br />approval to advertise for a full time fire inspector/administrative assistant <br />position for the Elk River Fire Department. I believe this position will enhance <br />our fire inspection bureau, provide assistance to the fire chief, and provide a <br />much needed point of contact within the fire department during regular city <br />business hours in the absence of the fire chief. The fire <br />inspector/administrative assistant wage would be set forth by the comp worth <br />committee. I would like to have a full-time fire inspector/administrative <br />assistant starting on approximately July 1, 2000. <br /> <br />The process for hiring the full time fire inspector/administrative assistant <br />would entail an application process of approximately two weeks in nature with <br />advertisement in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Elk River Star News. I <br />have set up a selection committee of First Assistant Chief Mike Trunnell, <br />Blaine/Spring Lake Park Fire Chief Nyle Zikmund, Anoka/Champlin Fire <br />Marshal Doug Freeby, and me. We will do the interviewing and selection of a <br />candidate and the selected candidate will be forwarded to City Administrator <br />Pat Klaers and Assistant City Administrator Lori Johnson with final approval <br />of the Mayor and City Council. <br /> <br />The fire department will also continue with the use of part-time fire inspectors <br />along with the full-time fire inspector/administrative assistant. The fire <br />department's 2000 budget has provisions for both the part-time inspectors and <br />a full-time inspector/administrative assistant position. <br /> <br />If you have any questions in reference to this issue, please feel free to call me <br />at 763-441-4919. I will be in attendance at the Monday, May 15, 2000, City <br />Council meeting. <br /> <br />s: \ council\ astchief, doc <br /> <br /> <br />
