CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 22, 2016
AGENDA #: 6A
PREPARED BY: DOUG HARTMAN, FIRE CHIEF
PRESENTED BY: DOUG HARTMAN
AGENDA ITEM: BADGE PRESENTATION AND FIRE DEPARTMENT INVESTITURE
CEREMONY
PRESENTATION: Prior Lake has a tradition of presenting the fire badge to new firefighters
upon completion of their training and probation period. In the past year,
10 new firefighters have each completed over 180 hours of required
training to become State Certified to the Firefighter II, Hazmat Operations
and First Responder level.
Firefighters, Michael Adams, Dave Ahmann, Matt Banyai, Justin Bichoff,
Tyler Braatz, Mathew Crowley, Lucas Choudek, Daniel Misgen,
Michael Pribble and Ryan Van Curler will be present, likely with family
members, to receive their badges and recite the oath of office. The Mayor
can elect to give the oath to these firefighters individually or as a group
depending on the depth of the agenda.
In addition, Firefighter Michael Wiskow was hired September 1, 2014 as a
fully trained firefighter who had just moved to Prior Lake from Savage. He
has since completed his probation period and was asked to participate in
this ceremony as well. He also will likely have family present. This oath
should be conducted first.
