VOTE: <br />Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />3. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF MAY 22, 2023 <br /> <br />Benson asked for this item to be pulled from the agenda because the section of the minutes after the <br />closed meeting was reopened to the public did not include that she asked the City Administrator and the <br />City Attorney whether the recording equipment was back on and was told it was not because the <br />technician had already left. She asked that the minutes reflect her question. <br /> <br />Benson moved, Johnson seconded, to approve the minutes of the May 22, 2023 City Council <br />meeting with that addition. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> <br />19. APPROVAL OF COURSE OF ACTION FOR FIRE NEEDS ASSESSMENT - <br />ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ORONO FIRE DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />Fire Chief Van Eyll recapped actions taken by the City Council to date in establishing a fire department. <br />He said staff recommends the final needs assessment with option four which is the hybrid model with a <br />full-time chief, daytime duty crews and paid on-call firefighters. He said staff further recommends the <br />City establish a response guideline based on the suburban demand zone from NFPA; the establishment of <br />a daytime duty crew staffing structure; and developing a hiring and recruiting process to staff the new <br />department including a pension plan that is beneficial to all firefighters currently serving the Orono area <br />who wish to join the new Fire Department. The City would focus negotiating effort on the disposition of <br />station one of select fleet and equipment with the City of Long Lake, initiates the purchase of equipment <br />and vehicles, and adopt the League of Minnesota Cities’ formula for any fee for services contracts.
