Flat Rock council accepts fire chief resignation, appoints Jim Hubbard as interim chief
Summary
Council accepted the fire chief's resignation (chief to begin full-time educator job Dec. 1) and appointed Jim Hubbard as interim fire chief effective Nov. 29 with a $100 daily stipend while serving as chief.
Council acknowledged receipt of a resignation letter from the city's fire chief and voted to accept it "with regrets." The letter, read in part at the meeting, stated the chief will begin a full-time educator position on Dec. 1 and offered to assist with inspections during the transition.
Following the acceptance, the council appointed Jim Hubbard as interim fire chief effective Nov. 29. The appointment includes a temporary designation for a captain to cover third shift duties and a daily stipend of $100 when Hubbard performs chief duties. Council members described the appointment as a temporary arrangement and reiterated it was not a permanent promotion.
Council discussed the logistics of the interim period and encouraged the new interim chief to consult with the incoming permanent chief as appropriate. No additional personnel details (such as reasons for the chief's resignation beyond the letter) were provided at the meeting.
