REQUEST TO ALLOW LONGEVITY FOR STILLWATER FIREFIGHTER
Council met with Firefighter David Reichow to discuss his
request to reinstate his longevity pay. Council agreed that
because of his 15 years as a volunteer firefighter, the

not set a precedent for other transferred employees.
Motion by Counci1member Kimble, seconded by Councilmember Farrell
to adopt the appropriate resolution authorizing the reinstatement
of longevity pay to be applied to the salary rate of David
Reichow effective the first pay period of January, 1991.
