A committee member reported that Chief Bigler submitted a letter of resignation and recommended Ken Buckmaster be named interim fire chief. The committee member told the body they will bring the recommendation to the court this month.

The committee member said the bylaws call for a 60‑day interim appointment, which the court will address at its next meeting. The recommendation was presented as a report to the committee rather than a committee appointment; no formal vote on the interim appointment took place during this meeting.

Ken Buckmaster was mentioned as the recommended interim chief; the committee heard the recommendation and the Chair confirmed the matter will be brought before the court for formal action.
