To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Public Safety Director Craig Woolery
From: Interim Fire Chief Rick Redenius
Date: September 20, 2012
Subject: Northern Tier Company Donation to Fire Department
BACKGROUND
The Cottage Grove Fire Department has a long history of training and working with the Fire
Brigade of Northern Tier Petroleum Company. We provide mutual aid to each other's incidents
when necessary and train together during the year. Northern Tier also has 9 storage tanks off
85 Street that we have preplanned. The Fire Department would work closely with the
Northern Tier Fire Brigade if there was an incident at these tanks.
Northern Tier Petroleum Company has in years past made donations to the Cottage Grove
Fire Department and this money has helped our department in building of our training
ventilation trailer and in the purchase of our Keiser Force training machine.
On Monday, August 27, 2012 Northern Tier Petroleum presented the Fire Department with a
check for $1,000.00.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department would like to utilize this donation to assist in purchasing two new
chainsaws. These saws will replace two saws which are over 10+ years old.
Staff recommends passing a motion to accept the $1,000.00 donation from Northern Tier
Petroleum Company and purchase of two chain saws.
