The Eagan City Council met on June 3, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at the Eagan Municipal Center. The meeting began with the swearing-in of new firefighters, promotions of Battalion Chiefs, and the swearing-in of a new Deputy Chief. The council then moved through a consent agenda, notably pulling personnel item B regarding City Administrator Diane Miller's resignation for separate action, which passed 3-1-1. Two new business items—a conditional use permit for Champion Plumbing and a planned development amendment for The Haven—were both approved unanimously.
I was asking about the membership. Well, he sent it to planning. I don't know. I give my email address. I believe the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands by nation. Under God. Well, welcome everybody to that June 3rd regular meeting of the Egan City Council. It's our first meeting of the month of June. We have a fairly full house tonight, which means that either the conditional use permit and the planned development amendment that we have on task are really controversial. Or we're swearing in some firefighters and promoting a few others. So I'm gonna go with that second one. So we got a uh fairly uh efficient agenda tonight. We're gonna uh do the swearing in of some firefighters, and that's why the room is so full tonight. Uh welcome everybody. Uh and then we're gonna do uh just a little bit of business and uh get out of here fairly early this evening. So uh with that, Ms. Miller. I think he changes the agenda for tonight. No, Mr. Mayor. Uh council, any change his agenda. No, sir. Motion Councilmember Hansen for motion. The agenda is presented. Second. That's moved and seconded. Any further discussion on the agenda. Seeing none on favor, single saying aye. Aye and opposed, nay. That motion carries, and we have an agenda. Um under recognitions and presentations, we're gonna be doing two uh different uh swearing in and oath of office uh ceremonies tonight. Uh I'm gonna uh turn it over to uh Chief Searle. Uh both in the fire department be swearing in uh some new appointees to a firefighter in the city of Egan. Uh and then after that, we're gonna uh promote a couple of other uh already uh firefighters take the oath of office as Italian chief. So Chief Searle, with that. Thank you. Mayor City Council, thank you. Uh my name is Hugo Surla. I'm the fire chief for the city of Egan. Uh and this is a joyous occasion. Um I think that's obvious behind me, a lot of happy people. Um these are some really significant events um in uh the lives of these firefighters and their families. Um we do the swearing in. Um it's something that uh is important in public safety in both police and fire. Um the role of a firefighter comes with a high level of uh responsibility and uh and public trust and uh firefighters express that at the beginning of their of their tenure here um by uh this oath that they're going to swear. Uh we also have uh oaths of office for promoted uh people. When we promote our firefighters to the rank of chief, they take the oath of office um as a fire chief. So and then with that we also have the badge pinning. And uh so when um the firefighters uh come up here, uh the first thing that they'll do is they'll bring with them their badge pinner, somebody that's significant in their life that will pin their badge on them in a ceremonial uh manner.
