Summary

A proposed appointment to the White River Township Fire Protection District board (term through 12/31/2027) was tabled after commissioners expressed concern about placing a currently working firefighter on the oversight board; motion to table carried.

The board considered filling a vacant seat on the White River Township Fire Protection District board at the June 12 meeting. Commissioners discussed whether a currently working firefighter should serve in an oversight role for another fire department; one commissioner expressed concern about that practice.

A recommendation for the appointment was attributed in the discussion to Chief Pell and to a person named Jeremy, who was not present. Rather than voting to appoint, a commissioner moved to table the item and a second was recorded; the motion to table carried on a voice vote.

The transcript does not record the name of the individual recommended for the vacancy or further details about the candidate. The item will return to a future meeting if and when the board places it back on the agenda.
