Both Assistant Chief Scott Taylor (left photo) and Assistant Chief Steve Koering (right photo) received their Emergency Management Certificates today at the Governor’s Conference for Emergency Management. (Click photos to enlarge.)

Presenting the certificate of completion was Kris Eide, Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management for the State of Minnesota. It has been a long journey consisting of both classroom and on-line classes totaling more than 200 hours. These two have spent a lot of time together while cementing this valuable knowledge, and yet they still remain close freinds! Our city government’s operations and our citizens in general are better off thanks to their dedication. Nicely done, Steve and Scott!
