City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers
From: Michael T. Schutt, Fire & EMS Director
Date: January 12, 2011
Item: Scholarship for Fire Training
Council Action Requested:
Council is asked to accept a scholarship from Flint Hills Resources with the intention of sending
Lt. Andy Knoll to attend this training, located at Refinery Terminal Fire Training Academy, in
Corpus Christi, Texas.
Background Information:
Flint Hills Resources has long been a supporter of area fire departments. Over the past 16 years
they have offered similar scholarships such as this to Hastings and surrounding fire departments.
Aside from having two refineries in our mutual-aid response area, flammable fuel fires are a part
of our everyday response concern.
Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact to the city. Flint Hills Resources will sponsor all financial
obligations associated with this training, including travel and lodging.
