Agenda Item #2 Public Comment Period Agenda Item #3 Swearing in Interim Fire Chief City Recorder Rebecca Evans swore in George Anderson as Interim Fire Chief. Motion: Agenda Item #4 Chief Anderson - Responding Boundaries Chief Anderson requested to move the residential responding boundaries for members of the fire department to 7 miles so there would be more recruitment. Motion: Councilmember Zauss made a motion to change the residential responding boundaries for members of the fire department to 7 miles. Councilmember Juber seconded the motion; followed by Councilmember McKinnon. Agenda Item #5 Chief Anderson - Reserve Program Chief Anderson would like to start a reserve program. It would consist of the same hiring process including a background check. He states that if a member of council would like to be a part of the hiring process, to let him know. He would like to see that everyone applying to the fire department would start out in the reserve program to fill spots as needed. Councilmember Zauss asks what the hiring process is now. Chief Anderson stated that three firefighters currently interview the applicant. Chief Anderson was also asked how things would change for the fire department. Chief Anderson stated that it would be open to anyone in the county, but that he wouldn't expect folks from Helper to respond to a medical call. That if that person was working in the area through the day - they would be able to help. He also stated that it could help bolster the roster numbers when the roster is low. The reserve program would be neighboring fire departments to help each other out locally. Motion: Councilmember McKinnon made a motion to approve a Fire Department Reserve Program. Councilmember Zauss seconded the motion; followed by Councilmember Juber. Agenda Item # 6 RESOLUTION 2024-05 - A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE CREATION OF A UTAH INLAND PORT AUTHORITY PROJECT AREA IN THE CITY OF WELLINGTON Motion: Councilmember McKinnon made a motion to approve Resolution 2024-05. Councilmember Zauss seconded the motion; followed by Councilmember Juber. Agenda Item #7 Heating Quote for City Hall With City Hall's boiler on its way out, Mayor Clark discussed the urgency to get heating into the building as quickly as possible.
