Introduction
The City Council is asked to appoint Bob Gieseke and Matt Schlenk as Assistant Engineers and
Scott Davis as Assistant SCBA Coordinator for the Shakopee Fire Department.
Background
The new officer selection process for the Fire Department resulted in the appointment of most
part-time Department officers at an earlier Council meeting. However, the process for filling the
positions of Assistant Engineer and Assistant SCBA Coordinator are somewhat different and are
therefore just now coming before the Council. For these positions, the person named to the
position of Engineer and SCBA Coordinator recommend candidates for their respective assistant
positions to the Chief, who in turn makes a recommendation to the City Council.
Recommendation
Acting Chief Schwaesdall recommends that Bob Gieseke and Matt Schlenk be appointed
Assistant Engineers and that Scott Davis be appointed Assistant SCBA Coordinator for the
Shakopee Fire Department.
Budget Impact
These positions carry a very modest salary, funding for which was included in the Fire
Department's 2008 operating budget.
Relationship to Vision
Having afully-staffed command structure for the Fire Department contributes to the effective
operation of the department and in turn, a high quality of life for residents of Shakopee (Goal B).
Requested Action: If the Council concurs, it should move to appoint Bob Gieseke and Matt
Schlenk as Assistant Engineers and Scott Davis as Assistant SCBA Coordinator for the
Shakopee Fire Department, effective January 1, 2008.
