While this purchase is already 20 made, it's the kind of thing the city should be mindful of in the future since there will be a 21 new city fire department and the shirts won't be useful for the city after the end of the 22 year. Mayor Reinert concurred that the city should be watchful. 23 24 The council discussed the possibility of having Lino Lakes Fire Department t -shirts. 25 Chief Swenson recommends that would be a future discussion to include the pros and 26 cons. 27 28 Public Safety Department — Chief Swenson explained that Item 4A authorizes hiring of 29 two police officers who would be the 25th and 26th sworn officers for the department; the 30 26th position is attached to a grant.
