MINUTES CITY OF PEQUOT LAKES SAFETY COMMITTEE March 6, 2014 8:30 AM PRESENT: Sandy Peine, City Clerk; Mike Loven, Public Works Supervisor; Tom Nelson, Fire Chief; Eric Klang, Police Chief and Dawn Bittner, Safety Secretary. ABSENT: Dave Sjoblad, Council Liaison. 1. Review of Minutes: A motion was made by Mike Loven, seconded by Eric Klang, to approve the December 5, 2013 Safety Committee Minutes, as read. All members voted "aye". Motion carried. 2. Emer ency Procedures: Bittner pointed out our Emergency Operations Plan seems to be a duplicate of the County Plan, containing information on other municipalities and townships in Crow Wing County that may not be necessary to an Emergency Plan for Pequot Lakes. It was the consensus of the Safety Committee to: • Chief Klang will have a copy or access to the Crow Wing County Emergency Operations Plan; • Staff will update the City Plan with current City employee information, as well as local police and fire department contact information; • An update will be provided at an upcoming Safety Committee Meeting. 3. MMUA Safetv Training_ The Safety Instructor responded that should the City cancel a scheduled training session due to snow plowing that the City would still be charged for the missed session; it could not be rescheduled. It was agreed that the City will not cancel a training session due to snow plowing and the Instructor will hold the class even with poor attendance. Some training sessions are mandatory to be repeated annually and one is now considered annual refresher suggested per the League of Minnesota Cities. Staff will make the necessary change to the Lockout/Tagout information. Holding a one-day session for all mandatory training was discussed. We would need to contact the other cities involved in our training group. Chief Nelson stated a city employee who missed a mandatory session could attend the Fire Department training to be compliant. It was the consensus to continue as we have been.
