Fire Merit Commission elects officers, names Fred Adrian president
Summary
The Michigan City Fire Merit Commission elected Fred Adrian president, chose Larry Butcher as vice president and appointed a recording secretary; the votes were carried by voice and commissioners confirmed administrative housekeeping items for the coming months.
The Michigan City Fire Merit Commission held elections May 4 and selected Fred Adrian as president and Larry Butcher as vice president, with a commissioner volunteering to serve as recording secretary.
The commission opened nominations for president; one commissioner nominated Fred Adrian, a second backed the nomination and the chair called for a voice vote. The presiding officer announced, “Motion carried,” after all present signaled assent. A subsequent nomination and vote made Larry Butcher vice president, and a commissioner volunteered to handle the recording secretary duties, which members approved by voice vote.
The changes came at the start of the meeting, where the commission confirmed a five-member quorum and moved through routine procedural business including approval of the prior meeting’s minutes and acceptance of payroll and claims for April. Those motions were seconded and passed by voice vote. The commission also set its next meeting for June 1 at 5 p.m.
The meeting record shows no roll-call vote tallies; the chair announced motions as carried after members answered “aye.”
