Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for August 19, 2013 Page 2 of 6 Hugo Fire Department Annual Report — Fire Chief Kevin Colvard Hugo Fire Chief Kevin Colvard provided a report on the activities of the Hugo Fire Department in 2012. Chief Colvard stated there were a total of 573 calls for service, and he recapped the types of calls and time of day calls were received. He stated that many of the alarm calls were due to the lack of maintenance on smoke and carbon monoxide detection alarms. The goal of the Department was to reduce those calls through public education. In 2012, the Department spent 1,468 hours on drill training, and has three new recruits who made it through EMT basic training. Chief Colvard also talked about the many community events the Fire Department participated in. Mayor Weidt thanked the Fire Department for their involvement in the search for Ray Novakovic when he went missing on July 21, 2013. Klein made motion, Petryk seconded, to accept the 2012 Fire Department Annual Report as presented by Fire Chief Kevin Colvard. All Ayes. Motion carried. Special Event Permit for Good Neighbor Harvest Fest on September 14, 2013 — Hugo Lions For the past two years, The Hugo Lions Club held a Hugo Hoedown Festival on a Saturday in September. This year, the Hugo Lions are changing the event to the Good Neighbor Harvest Festival and modifying the event to be more family and kid -friendly. Committee Chair Mike Sherrill explained the event will include games for adults and children, a petting zoo, inflatables, beanbag tournament, flea market/craft show, and disk jockey. There will be beer, chili, and hot dogs for sale. The goal is intended to be a fund raiser; however Mike said they would be lucky to break even.
