Commission hears report on new hire Cody Melton; hiring-list transition set for Feb. 12
Summary
Chief Snyder reported that firefighter Cody Melton was hired Jan. 26 and will serve a one-year probation; commissioners clarified that the old hiring list expires this week and the new list will be used exclusively beginning Feb. 12.
Chief Snyder told the Franklin City Fire Merit Commission that firefighter Cody Melton was hired Jan. 26 and began a one-year probationary period, and commissioners agreed that any motion to move him to full-time status would come after the probationary term.
Commissioners discussed the transition between hiring lists. There was some back-and-forth about dates: a commissioner said the prior list expires “later this week,” and another clarified that the prior list technically expires on Feb. 12, at which point the commission will be working off the new list exclusively.
Chief Snyder also reported the department is currently fully staffed after recent changes. No formal motion to promote Melton off probation was taken; the commission recorded the hiring, the probationary timeline and the hiring-list transition for future action.
Next steps recorded were to monitor Melton's probationary progress and to proceed with hiring-list procedures after the Feb. 12 transition.
