Grosse Ile commission recommends James Gatt to township board for fire marshal
Summary
After interviewing three candidates, the fire commission voted to recommend James Gatt to the township board as fire marshal and instructed him to work with the township manager on compensation and benefits.
The Grosse Ile Township Fire Commission voted to recommend James Gatt to the township board to fill the fire marshal position.
Commission members interviewed three candidates for the vacancy and made a recommendation to the township board. The commission’s motion, supported from the floor, instructed that Mr. Gatt "work with the township manager" on compensation, benefits and education. The commission chair noted the township board will consider the recommendation at its next meeting.
The motion was supported during the commission meeting and carried on a voice vote; commissioners did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. The commission’s recommendation is advisory — the township board must take formal action to appoint a fire marshal.
Township manager Derek Thiel was named in the discussion as the staff contact who would negotiate compensation and benefits if the board approves the recommendation.
