Lakeville Council recognizes rookie firefighters and accepts $32,000 in donations for veterans campaign
Summary
The council badged the 2022 rookie firefighter class after they completed training, and approved the consent agenda noting that Lakeville Liquors customers donated over $32,000 to the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon campaign.
The meeting opened with a presentation by the Fire Chief recognizing the class of 2022 rookies who completed two years of probation with the Lakeville Fire Department. The chief named firefighters Matthew Johnson and Ross Woods (station 1), Corey Kluszewski and Jason Weisher (station 3), and Jacob Coughlin and Mike Parker (station 4), and administered the oath. The chief said some rookies completed certifications including firefighter II, hazardous materials operations and emergency medical response, plus about 450 hours of training over two years.
During consent-agenda highlights, Mr. Miller noted item 6H is a resolution accepting donations from Lakeville Liquors customers and that "last month, our customers donated over $32,000," funds planned for the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon campaign.
The council approved the consent agenda by voice vote and moved on to other agenda items. The mayor closed the meeting with holiday wishes and noted the next council meeting and work session dates.
Next steps: the department will continue to process certifications and personnel records for the rookies; the donation acceptance will be implemented per the resolution in the consent packet.
