Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 19, 2012 Page 16 2006 FEMA training for all city employees and to substantiate grant applica- tions and elected officials, whether through on-line or classroom training. Councilmember Johnson thanked the Fire Department and expressed his appre- ciation for the work they did and its importance to the community and collective community throughout the region, state and country. Councilmember Johnson referenced his emergency training and certification as an elected official when first elected as a Councilmember; and while no longer a requirement beyond the Mayor, suggested that a certification program be reinstated as standard operat- ing practice for elected officials. Councilmember Johnson opined that it pro- vided a very informative, in-depth training beyond his previously held shallow view of what actually occurred in local government during an emergency situa- tion. Chief Brosnahan advised that it was the intent to get the City Council back into such a certification program, as part of FEMA command requirements for elect- ed officials; at a minimum to provide an overview of the Mayor and Coun- cilmember roles during an emergency. Chief Peterson concurred, noting that the more elected officials knew about the emergency system, the better for the community. Mayor Roe thanked staff for their presentation and their work with emergency management for the community and its residents. 11. Public Hearings a. Liquor License Renewals Mayor Roe introduced Finance Director Chris Miller who briefly presented those licenses for renewal for 2013, as detailed in the Request for Council Ac- tion (RCA) dated November 19, 2012. Mr. Miller noted that those license re- newals included: ten (10) off-sale intoxicating liquor licenses; eighteen (18) on- sale 3.2 non-intoxicating malt liquor licenses; eight (8) off-sale 3.2 non- intoxicating malt liquor licenses; twenty-five (25) on-sale intoxicating liquor li- censes; four(4) club liquor licenses; and twelve (12) wine only liquor licenses. Mr. Miller apologized for leaving Pour Decisions off the list included in the packet; but advised that they should be included on the list for 2013 for an on- sale and off-sale liquor license. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Miller advised that Pour Decisions had ap- plied for an on-sale liquor license, but had yet to pay the fee; however, he antic- ipated that they would facilitate that before year-end.
