SUBJECT: Hiring of Paid-On-Call Firefighter/EMT
Description:
Authorize the hiring of eight individuals to the position of paid-on-call firefighter/EMT.
Background•
Earlier this year, council approved the hiring of eight paid-on-call firefighter/EMT's.
The selection process, which started with 32 candidates, has been narrowed down to
eight. The process included physical abilities, comprehensive skills exam, an oral
interview board, a comprehensive background check, and an interview with me.
A cross section of the entire fire department was used in the examination process,
including chief officers, full-time staff, paid-on-call officers and paid-on-call
firefighter/EMT's. In addition, the comprehensive skills exam was performed solely by
Dakota County Technical College.
Requested Action:
At the completion of the testing process, I am recommending the hiring of the following
people to the position of paid-on-call firefighter/EMT:
Mindy Anderson Amy Carlson
Mack Carlson Kent Fasbender
Adam Girgen David Janssen
Jamey McNamara Seth Morris
This recommended hiring would be based on these individuals successfully completing a
physical examination by the City of Hastings' physician and the successful passing of the
City of Hastings pre-employment drug screening.
I will be at a conference and unable to attend the city council meeting. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at 651-775-5547 anytime.
