Fire chief reports donations and training plans; council approves department elections
Summary
Fire Chief Goede reported a $15,000 Gambling Relief donation for concession-stand improvements, EV-safety training planned for March (training cost $3,800 with $800 grant discount), and completion of four firefighters' EMR class. The council approved the department's election results 5-0.
Fire Chief Goede updated the council on recent department activity. The minutes record a Gambling Relief donation of $15,000 earmarked for concession-stand improvements. The minutes also list a second donation amount in a format that appears inconsistent; the recorded figure is unclear and the minutes do not supply a corrected amount.
The department announced tournament dates for July 31 through Aug. 2, plans to seek a fireworks permit and sponsorships for event bands, and that a planned change to overhead electrical service for the generator is awaiting a scheduled switchover date from Xcel. Four new firefighters completed EMR training and will next pursue Fire Fighter I certification. The department plans EV emergency-response training on March 16 in Mayer; the total training cost was listed as $3,800 with each participating department receiving an $800 grant discount.
The council approved the New Germany Fire Department election results (Chief Ryan Goede; Asst. Chief Chris Barlau; 1st Captain & Secretary Alex Kurtz; 2nd Captain Nick Ericson; 3rd Captain Dane Wagner) on a 5-0 vote.
