ITEM #: 16
MOTION Regular Agenda
AGENDA ITEM: Appointment of required officials to Fire Relief Association Board of Trustees
SUBMITTED BY: Dean Zuleger, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Adam Bell, City Clerk
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The by-laws of the Lake Elmo Firefighters Relief
Association provide that there be two officials of the City that serve on its Board of Trustees. One must
be an elected official and the other may be an elected or appointed official. The Council should select one
of its members (as required) and one other official (either a councilmember by name or a staff position by
title) to the Firefighters Relief Association Board of Trustees.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The practice in the past regarding City membership on the Board
of Trustees has been that the Fire Chief, the Finance Director and one Council Member have filled these
positions. These positions were held in 2012 by Fire Chief Malmquist, Finance Director Bendel and
Council Member Pearson.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council continue with the historical practice
of having the Fire Chief and the Finance Director and one Council Designate hold these positions for
2013. Should the City Council agree, they need to make those appointments.
“Move to appoint Fire Chief Malmquist, Finance Direct Bendel and Council Member
___________________________________to the Fire Relief Association Board of Trustees for 2013”.
