Tom Bouthilet, HR/Finance Director
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The city council is being asked to make a
conditional job offer to Chris Klein as a firefighter in the department contingent on his
passing a pre-placement physical. He has met the requirements to this point (background
check, attended three meetings, ability test and interview process). Upon successful
completion of the physical he shall be placed on probation status with the fire
department.
This will bring the number of probationary firefighters to 4; there are currently 27
firefighters (4of which are probationary) on the department. Compensation is $7.04/call
for probationary firefighters.
You are also being asked to move Mike Cornell from Probationary Status to Firefighter
Status.
Mike has met all of the probationary requirements. He has successfully completed State
Certified Firefighter I & II, HazMat Awareness and Operations, State Certified First
Responder and CPR. He has also maintained his call and training percentages.
RECOMMENDATION:
Chief Malmquist recommends approval of both, the conditional job offer and status
change.
SUGGESTED MOTION FOR CONSIDERATION
Motion to make conditional job offer to Chris Klein pending the outcome of his
department physical and then to be placed on probationary status with the fire
department if his physical is passed and to also move Mike Cornell from Probationary
Status to Firefighter Status.
