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.
