Board says bylaws allow potential hire of chief’s son but no hiring decision made
Summary
Board members discussed a potential future hire — the fire chief’s son — and heard that the town’s bylaws permit such a hire; the board said any appointment would require a future board decision and no action was taken at the meeting.
Members of the Town of Southwest Ranches Fire Board discussed a potential future hire: the fire chief’s son. The board reported that staff research into the bylaws found the current language permits such an appointment, but that any hire would require formal board action.
Chair Bright Cruz explained that the fire advisory board had raised the possibility and that board counsel or staff (Keith) reviewed the bylaws and determined the hire would be allowable under existing rules. Board members emphasized that the final hiring decision would come back to this board and that no immediate appointment or vote was before them.
The discussion was procedural and advisory; no motion to hire was made and no vote occurred. The board proceeded to adjourn and begin the scheduled Land Planning Agency meeting.
