City Council Report 2023-115
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Dale Specken, Fire Chief
Date: December 5, 2023
Subject: Resolution Approving Amendments to the Hopkins Fire Department Relief
Association Bylaws
_____________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION
MOTION TO Adopt Resolution 2023-040 Approving Amendments to the Hopkins Fire
Department Relief Association Bylaws.
OVERVIEW
The Hopkins Fire Department Relief Association amended its Bylaws in October. The
amendments are related to an option the relief association had chosen to provide
deferred interest when the bylaws were written per state guidance in 2022 that is no
longer allowed by MN law. The relief association has chosen not to offer deferred
interest due to the complexity of the other options at this time. This is a return to the
bylaw policy before the change in 2022 and will have no effect on any members who
retired in the interim.
