Council <br />Members present: Neal, Bisel, Bohjanen. Council Members <br />absent: Reinert. Centennial Fire District Chairman, Bill <br />Bruen; Centennial Fire Commission Member, Neal Benjamin; <br />Administrator, Randy Schumacher; and Clerk- Treasurer Marilyn <br />Anderson were also present. <br />Mayor Benson explained the purpose for this work session is <br />a follow up on the Fire District. <br />Chairman Bruen explained he had assumed the Chairman <br />position in January of this year and told the Council he <br />felt he is working with a fine group of people.

All these items will be included in <br />a document which will be published and be available to all <br />three Councils. <br />Mr. Bruen explained in some detail what the various goals <br />and objectives are and some methods of accomplishing the <br />goals and objectives. <br />Mr. Bruen explained that at the present time the Centennial <br />Fire Department is capable of handling fires in building <br />only two stories tall.
