Motion Carried. <br />FIRE DEFT APPOINTMENT <br />The City received a recommendation from the Hugo Fire Chief to appoint Fon <br />Istvanovich, Jr., as a fire fighter on the Hugo Fire Dept. Because of <br />Jr.'s relationship to the Fire Chief, and other members of his family on <br />the department, there was a long discussion regarding "nepotism" and what, <br />if any, impact his appointment would have on the department. It was <br />agreed to that the City should be developing a policy addressing this <br />issue and other situations that are "current" in today's society, that <br />could become an issue in the future. <br />Miron made motion, LerouX seconded, to table the recommendation to appoint <br />Fon Istvanovich, Jr., to the Hugo Fire Department until reviewed by the <br />members of the FD, and their recommendation be available for the City <br />Council meeting of December 21, 1992. <br />Council member Barnes stated that she would be voting against the motion <br />because it was her opinion that the Council was "skirting" the issue, and <br />it was for the Council to decide, not the Fire Dept. She also felt that <br />consideration should be given to Ron Jr's one -•year commitment to the <br />Department, already completed. <br />VOTING AYE: Brunotte, Lerou:;, Miron <br />VOTING NAY: Barnes, Stoltzman <br />Motion Carried. <br />The City received a recommendation from the Hugo Fire Chief to keep Pumper <br />#4133 to use for grass and brush fires.
