The Village of Northfield confirmed Christopher Molnar as a full‑time firefighter/paramedic on April 23, approving Resolution No. 2025‑17 and setting his start date for May 18.
Law Director Brad Bryan read the emergency resolution by title. Captain Joseph Zemek said Molnar has worked for the Northfield Fire Department in a part‑time capacity for 15 years and has nine years of full‑time experience with the Westlake Fire Department; Zemek said Molnar will resign his Westlake position once Northfield's appointment is final. Councilmember Gary Vojtush moved to suspend the three‑reading rule; the motion was seconded by Alan Hipps and passed on a roll‑call vote. Council then voted to adopt the resolution; the roll call was unanimously in favor.
Mayor Jenn Domzalski, who earlier welcomed Molnar as a personable hire, congratulated the department on adding the new full‑time position. Captain Zemek said the Department is "excited to get Chris Molnar on board as a full‑time employee." The Council record lists the appointment as an emergency resolution, allowing immediate adoption under the suspended reading rule.
The resolution notes Molnar's residency in Macedonia and schedules his Northfield start date for May 18. There was no recorded opposition during the meeting and no amendment to the appointment. The Council did not discuss changes to department staffing beyond the appointment at the time of the vote.
The Council's action concluded with a formal roll call recorded in the meeting minutes.
