Brimfield trustees approve amendment to Fire Chief Craig Mullaly’s employment agreement including suspension period
Summary
After an executive session, the Brimfield Township Board of Trustees voted Oct. 29 to amend Fire Chief Craig Mullaly’s employment agreement to add disciplinary terms and a period of suspension; the motion passed by roll call following a closed-session meeting under Ohio law.
The Brimfield Township Board of Trustees voted on Oct. 29, 2025 to enter an amended employment agreement with Fire Chief Craig Mullaly that includes disciplinary provisions and a period of suspension. Trustee Nicholas Coia moved the measure and Trustee Mike Kostensky seconded; the board approved the motion on a roll call vote.
The amendment followed executive sessions held under Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22(G). Trustee Sue Field first moved to convene an executive session at 8:42 AM to consider personnel matters and investigations involving public employees or officials; later, Trustee Nicholas Coia moved a separate executive session specifically to confer with the board’s attorney about disputes that are the subject of pending or imminent court action. The board returned from executive session at 10:04 AM and took the employment-action vote.
Trustee Nicholas Coia moved the employment-agreement amendment; Trustee Mike Kostensky seconded. The motion (MOTION #2025-330) passed on the board’s roll-call vote. The transcript records that the amended agreement results in disciplinary matters that include “a period of suspension and other appropriate terms,” but it does not specify the length of the suspension or additional disciplinary details.
The action affects the township’s fire department leadership and was framed by the board as a formal personnel decision completed after consultation in closed session. The trustees took no additional public debate on the item after returning to open session. The meeting adjourned at 10:17 AM.
No public statements or direct quotations from Chief Craig Mullaly are recorded in the meeting minutes provided; the terms of the amendment beyond the description recorded in the motion were not specified in the publicly posted minutes.
