LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 3, 1987 PAGE 12 Fire Chief Fran Pott presented the Lake Elmo Fire Department annual report. Copies can be obtained at the City Hall. He reported completion of the following department activities during 1986: hydranats flushed in the Old Village; preparation of a preliminary 10 year capital plan; discontinued the blood pressure clinic; replaced the three east garage doors in the station and again placed emphasis on firefighting training programs. Membership is at 20, a two member increase from 1985. This year, Pott stated, the department plans to review fire hydrant maintenance with Cimarron, refurbish the Maintenance Building as Lake Jane Substation and recruit at least three new members from that area; rearrange parking lot at Station No. 1 to accomodate ball tournament parking and obtain City Council approval of a 10 year C.I.P. Pott expressed his concerns with local violations of the open burning regulations. The Fire Department has been called out on several occasions to a suspected fire to find that a resident has intentionally set fire to brush, etc. The false alarms are costing the city about $800 per call and are in violation of Section 803 of the Lake Elmo Munucipal Code. The City Council agreed that the State law and local ordinances should be enforced. Mayor Christ thanked Fire Chief Fran Pott for a good and clear report. The City Council emphasized how much they appreciated the good job the Fire Department has been doing for the City.
