Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT February 5, 2007 ~ ~~nk Boyles, City Manag~ PRESENTATION - OATH OF OFFICE FOR FIRE CHIEF, FIRST ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF AND SECOND ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF. In the last few years, the city Council began the practice of having the Mayor administer the Oath of Office to police officers and community service officers. The new fire chief, Doug Hartman, suggested that the same be done for firefighters and officers. The administration of the Oath of Office is a great opportunity to introduce the new fire employees to the council, staff and general public. In doing so, they become more identified with the City of Prior Lake. There is no Oath of Office specifically for firefighters that we could find. The oath on the attached page for the Mayor to administer is adapted from the police officer oath. The Mayor will administer the Oath of Office to the following: Fire Chief - Douglas Hartman First Assistant Fire Chief - James Larson, Jr. Second Assistant Fire Chief - Mark Friedrich Follow the administration of the Oath of Office, there will be a brief recess for photographs. www.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.9800 / Fax 952.447.4245 Firefighter and Fire Officer Oath of Office I (state your name) do solemnly swear that I will faithfully serve the citizens of Prior Lake and my fellow members of the Prior Lake Volunteer Fire Department, and that I will perform and discharge all duties incumbent on me according to the law, the best of my abilities and understanding, so help me God.
