Delhi Township swears in paramedic Noah Sammons; board accepts multiple resignations and approves hires
Summary
At its April 8 meeting the board pinned Noah Sammons as a new paramedic/firefighter, accepted four part-time firefighter resignations and approved two conditional part-time hires; trustees praised new paramedic and noted staffing pressures.
Noah Sammons was sworn in as a paramedic and firefighter during the April 8 Delhi Township Board of Trustees meeting. Chief Campbell introduced Sammons, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2017–2022, completed fire certification and EMT training at Butler Tech, was hired in March 2024 and recently obtained his paramedic license. Noah recited the oath and was pinned in a ceremony that included his father, Randy Sammons.
Trustees offered congratulations and welcomed Sammons to full-time paramedic duty. Trustee Stirts said the township looks forward to watching his career "blossom through the years," and Trustee Sevy thanked him for answering the call to service.
Following the ceremony, the board moved to accept voluntary resignations from four part-time firefighter/EMTs: Grant M. Ruey (effective April 8), Jonathan O. Hughes (effective March 31), Marissa L. Combs (effective April 17) and Andrew K. Byer (effective April 8). Trustees noted three employees accepted full-time positions elsewhere and one left to pursue education.
The board then approved conditional hires for Zachary B. McGovney and Thomas A. Trosseth as part-time firefighter/EMTs, contingent on successful completion of a voice stress analysis, background check, pre-employment physical and drug testing, effective April 8, 2026.
The chief and trustees framed the personnel actions in the context of recruitment and retention pressures; trustees emphasized the value of the township’s investment in training and the risk of losing newly trained staff to other departments.
The ceremony and motions were approved by voice votes; no roll-call vote breakdowns were provided in the transcript.
