Summary

After identifying omissions in sections 6-2 and 6-22, the board approved amendments to add the deputy chief to relevant language and passed the firefighters ordinance unanimously.

Board members reviewed the firefighters ordinance and identified two places where the deputy chief was omitted from language that lists fire-department officers and rulemaking authority (sections 6-2 and 6-22). A member asked that the deputy chief be explicitly included under subsection B and in the regulatory language.

A motion to pass the firefighters ordinance with the discussed amendments was made by Phil, seconded by Trish, and carried 6-0. The approved changes add the deputy chief to the list of officers and to the rulemaking references identified by board members.

The board recorded the motion and unanimous vote; no additional changes or fiscal implications were raised during the vote.
