Hartland accepts resignation of Fire Chief Dave Jamritz effective July 31, 2026
Summary
The Village of Hartland board approved Resolution 01122026 accepting Fire Chief Dave Jamritz’s planned resignation effective July 31, 2026; Jamritz cited 32 years of service and the board praised his long tenure and directed staff to begin transition planning.
The Village of Hartland board voted to accept Fire Chief Dave Jamritz’s resignation, effective July 31, 2026, under Resolution 01122026.
Chief Jamritz addressed the board and said that after 32 years of public service he believes “it’s time to turn over the reins” to newer leadership. Trustees thanked Jamritz for decades of service in the fire department and for prior work with public works (DPW). The board noted that Jamritz’s lengthy, preannounced resignation allows time for internal and external candidate evaluation by the police and fire commission and for a measured hiring process rather than a rushed replacement.
A motion to accept the resignation was made and approved by voice vote. Trustees asked staff to notify the appropriate commission and to begin the transition activities in the coming months; the board indicated it will handle ceremonial recognition closer to the effective date.
