Norwich Township trustees approve conditional offers to seven fire department candidates
Summary
Norwich Township trustees unanimously approved conditional job offers for seven candidates for the township Fire Department following an executive session under Ohio law; each offer is contingent on a department physical, drug screen, CVSA, psychological evaluation and pay per the collective bargaining agreement.
Chairman Greg Young called a special meeting of the Norwich Township Board of Trustees to order at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 27 in Hilliard. After entering an executive session under Ohio Revised Code §121.22(G)(1) to consider the appointment of a public employee, the board emerged and approved a series of conditional employment offers for the township Fire Department.
Vice Chairman Rick Tidd moved and Trustee Sonny Cantrell seconded the motions to extend conditional offers to Rob McEntire, Tommy Williams, Troy Myers, Hayden Wells, Jake Baird and Nolan French; each motion passed unanimously with Greg Young, Rick Tidd and Sonny Cantrell voting yes. The board recorded motion numbers for the actions (#251027.03 through #251027.08). The motions specify that each offer is conditioned on a successful department physical, drug screen, cardiovascular screening assessment (CVSA), psychological evaluation and pay consistent with the current collective bargaining agreement.
The board entered executive session at 8:31 a.m. under ORC §121.22(G)(1) and adjourned that session at 11:45 a.m., according to the minutes. After the employment actions, Trustee Cantrell moved to adjourn the special meeting at noon; Vice Chairman Tidd seconded and the motion carried unanimously (Motion #251027.09).
The minutes list Greg Young as chairman and Omar Tarazi as fiscal officer in the record of proceedings. The approvals made the conditional offers official but do not constitute completed hires; each candidate must satisfy the listed pre-employment checks and requirements before a final appointment is effective.
