In addition; a new job description was developed for the Chief's position, <br />officer positions, and fire fighter. The Finance Director supported this position, pointed <br />out savings to the City and provided a metro salary comparison for the Fire Chief <br />position. Council member Smith indicated this permanent position is premature and <br />fiscally irresponsible at this time. <br />The Fire Chief said he would be more available for day -time response when asked by <br />Council member Johnson if this full time position would help with the problem of <br />daytime responders. Captain Pepin added that the Chief is also a "trainer" and this would <br />allow the Department to have daytime drills with the Chief as a trainer. This item will be <br />added to the January 17a' Council agenda. <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES January 10, 2006 <br />
