The council also asked the new chief of the Florissant Valley Fire Protection District (FVFPD), Jason Hoevelmann, to introduce himself to the council and the city. He spoke briefly and told the council about his experience and his gratitude to the previous chief, Scott Seppell, who is retiring. Hoevelmann has been with the FVFPD since 2000.
The council passed two bills dealing with cars and three dealing with city business.
The council passed a bill which amends a special use permit to Asher Rohra to allow for car sales for the property at 2 Menke Place.
