Background
On December 20, 2011, the City Council authorized the appointment of nine firefighters
to part-time officer positions within the Fire Department. The appointments are intended
to be effective for a two -year term; however, we have received a mid -term resignation
from Lieutenant Shawn Remme, effective April 18, 2012. (Mr. Remme will continue to
serve as a firefighter, just not in an officer capacity.)
This leaves a vacant officer position to be filled.
Recommendation
The Fire Department has conducted a selection process and recommends that Adam Ries
be appointed to fill the vacant Lieutenant position. Ries has eight years of experience
with the Department.
Relationship to Vision
This item relates to Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of
well - trained, caring and professional employees.
Requested Action
If it concurs, the Council should offer a motion to accept, with regret, the resignation of
Shawn Remme from his Lieutenant position with the Shakopee Fire Department,
effective April 18, 2012, and to appoint Adam Ries to the position of Lieutenant effective
July 30, 2012.
