Trustees approve hire of Jason Pugh as duty‑crew firefighter
Summary
The Swansea Board voted to hire Jason Pugh as a duty‑crew firefighter after the personnel committee forwarded the recommendation; trustees amended the job title to match existing position language before approval.
The Village of Swansea board voted to hire Jason Pugh as a duty‑crew firefighter after receiving a recommendation from the personnel committee.
During the committee meeting, the fire chief described Pugh’s background in emergency services and said he held the required certifications. Trustee (committee mover) brought a motion to forward a part‑time, nonexempt hourly position for Jason Pugh at $8.19 per hour to the board; trustees asked staff to align the job title with existing job descriptions before forwarding. The committee voted to forward the corrected motion to the board.
At the regular meeting the board approved the hire by roll call; the motion carried with unanimous affirmative votes. Mayor and trustees noted the hire aligned with department staffing needs and the title correction was made to avoid inconsistencies with previously used position names. The board recorded the motion and roll call in the meeting minutes and the personnel committee closed at 06:24.
