This <br />year the department has had the privilege of working with Dan Cochenour as the fiscal officer. <br />He was recommended by the finance team, and has been a tremendous asset. The Fire Pension <br />secretary is Gerard Ellis, who isn't able to be here today because he is stuck out of town. <br />Chief Cox explained the Fire Department mission statement and vision statement, which is <br />available along with the full presentation in the City Clerk's Office. <br />This was part of the strategic plan that was presented to the Council a few years ago.
