Board appoints and swears in two special fire police nominees
Summary
Following a recommendation from the fire chief, the board presented and administered the oath to two nominees — Keith Meserel and Philip Brink — to serve as special fire police. The Chair also reiterated that meetings allow two public comment periods (first for agenda items, second at the end).
The board (body not specified in the transcript) presented and administered the oath of office to two special fire police nominees after a recommendation from the fire chief.
A committee member said, "They have nominated Keith Meserel and Philip Brink to serve as fire police," and asked the two men to stand so the oath could be administered. The committee member also apologized for the length of the meeting agenda before reading the recommendation.
The Chair led the oath and thanked the volunteers, saying, "First of all, I wanna thank you for your volunteering." The Chair then began the oath with the words, "We solemnly swear that I will," indicating that the swearing-in was performed on the record.
Earlier in the meeting the Chair explained the board's public comment procedure, stating there are two public comment periods per meeting: "The first 1 has to do with agenda items only. The second 1 at the end of the meeting..." This restated rule was intended to keep new items from being introduced during the mid-meeting comment period.
The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote on the appointments; the nominees were presented and sworn in during the meeting. No additional details about terms, responsibilities, or formal motions were provided in the recorded segments. The meeting then continued with the agenda.
