HAZARDOUS MATERIAL RESPONSE TEAM Councilmember Malone reported on the Hazardous Materials Meeting at the Lake Johanna Fire Station; the meeting was for the purpose of formulating a response to requirements mandated by OSHA for designating and training response teams to handle hazardous materials incidents. Malone explained the LJVFD has joined with the cities of Roseville and New Brighton to establish a hazardous response team; he noted regulations require that firefighters be trained at three levels and the training is expensive. Councilmember Malone advised Council the training costs would be split among the three cities and New Brighton has donated a response vehicle which will be located at Station #1; the vehicle will require equipment and the costs will be shared between the three cities (approximately $6,000.00). He noted the LJVFD has budgeted approximately $6,000.00 for hazardous material training in 1989 and will include training funds in subsequent budgets. Malone recommended that Council support the training program drafted by the LJVFD and suggested staff prepare a resolution in support of their efforts and help fund the program to comply with OSHA requirements to provide training for a hazardous materials response team. He stated the training program proposed is good and shares resources. Councilmember Hansen questioned if Ramsey County would be forming response teams; she commended the personnel volunteering to serve on the response team. Malone stated the County will not form teams, however, some personnel training may be offered. Council concurred to direct staff to prepare a resolution in support of the LJVFD plan, training and funding for a hazardous materials response team to comply with OSHA regulations for Council review and approval at a future meeting.
