Fire chief asks board to adopt recruits training reimbursement policy; resolution approved
Summary
Greenwood Fire Chief Jamie Rochelle introduced Resolution 26-02 to establish a recruits training reimbursement policy intended to protect the department’s investment in training and certification; the board approved the resolution by voice vote.
Jamie Rochelle, Greenwood’s fire chief, presented a proposed recruits training reimbursement policy and the board adopted the measure as Resolution 26-02.
Rochelle said the department has moved to an open hiring process that yields many applicants who are not yet certified and that the city invests significant resources in training, certifications and physicals. "We have invested a lot of resources... and we want to protect our investment," Rochelle told the board as she introduced the resolution.
Chair moved for approval of Resolution 26-02; a board member seconded, and the board approved the resolution by voice vote. No further public debate was recorded.
The resolution was presented as a protective measure for the department’s recruitment and training expenditure; the transcript does not specify repayment terms, recoupment mechanisms or the precise administrative procedures the policy will use.
