<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> MEMO <br /> <br /> <br />To: Bryan Bear, City Administrator <br /> <br />From: Jim Compton, Jr., Fire Chief <br /> <br />Date: 9/24/2025 <br /> <br />Subject: Lieutenant Promotion <br />________________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />After restructuring the leadership ranks within the department in 2024, two Lieutenant positions were posted <br />within the department with only one position being filled. Since then, we have been providing and encouraging <br />all Firefighters to take leadership development classes and participate in growth opportunities. We recently <br />posted the last open Lieutenant position receiving three letters of interest. Deputy Chief Jensen, Assistant Chief <br />Emans, and I conducted two interviews on Thursday, September 18th for the open position. <br /> <br />We have chosen Bob Bieniek to fill the open Lieutenant position with a start date of October 1, 2025. Bob has <br />been with the fire department since December of 2008 and has served as a Lieutenant from September 2011 <br />until being promoted to Captain in February of 2014. He served as a Captain until December of 2021. <br /> <br />I recommend Bob Bieniek for the position of Lieutenant. <br /> <br />Please place this recommendation on the October 6, 2025, City Council agenda for Council consideration. <br /> <br />City of Hugo Fire Department <br />5323 140th Street North <br />Hugo, Minnesota 55038 <br />PH: (651) 762-6362 FAX: (651) 429-3212
