Fire Board Agenda Item
FIRE DEPT.
MEETING DATE: November 1, 2011
AGENDA ITEM: Membership
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At our August Fire Board meeting the board approved to open up
applications for new members for the St. Joseph Fire Department. We received 11 applications and are
going to be doing the Oral Interview and Agility Testing at the end of November. We are down three
members and are hoping to fill these and possibly making a list of applications that would meet our
standards that we could use in the case of any other members that may retire or leave the department
in the next year. This would save us time and money if we our able to do this.
It is anticipated that the required testing will not be completed until late 2011 or early 2012, so the
Board should discuss the process that will be used, either a special meeting or authorize the Fire Chief to
recommend the hire to the City Council.
BUDGET /FISCAL IMPACT: Up to $5,000 per member over a two year period
ATTACHMENTS: None
REQUESTED ACTION: Discussion on how to move forward
