G.6 Approve Revisions to the Hugo Fire Department EOP, SOG, and Personnel Policy The Hugo Fire Department has worked with City staff on changes to the Emergency Operation Policy (EOP), Standard Operating Guidelines, and Personnel Policy. Some changes were due to the switch to North Memorial Ambulance Service. In addition, many procedures, contacts, maps, and vital locations were brought up to date. Among those things, the goal of the EOP is to prepare city leaders in the case of a disaster so as to best ensure the safety of the citizens and surrounding communities. G.7 Approve Resolution Changing Polling Place for Ward 3- Precinct 3A Ward 3 is split into two precincts to align with the split in Legislative District 38. Both precincts have voted at the Rice Lake Centre in past elections and experienced difficulties due to lack of space. Each precinct must carry on election activities separately resulting in long wait lines and opportunities for election judge error. City Clerk Michele Lindau is requesting the polling place for residents in Precinct 3A be moved to the Oneka Room at Hugo City Hall. The Secretary of State and Washington County will be notified, and all residents in the precinct will be informed of the change by mail. Staff will also include this information in the next newsletter and on the City website. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution designating the Oneka Room at Hugo City Hall as the new polling place for Ward 3 -Precinct 3A.
