Wymore council amends and adopts Ordinance 683 governing volunteer fire-and-rescue executive committee
Summary
The Wymore City Council amended and adopted Ordinance 683 to redefine the executive committee of the Wymore Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, removing the secretary/treasurer role and specifying four officer positions; all motions passed unanimously July 2.
The Wymore City Council on July 2 amended and adopted Ordinance 683, a change that redefines the executive committee for the Wymore Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.
Councilmember Mark Meints identified an error on page 3, paragraph 3-102 subsection 3, prompting a motion by Councilman Max Allen, seconded by Councilwoman Sue Sapp, to remove “secretary/treasurer of the Wymore Volunteer Fire and Rescue department” and instead provide that the executive committee “shall consist of the Fire Chief, Assistant Fire Chief, Second Fire Chief and President of the Wymore Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.” The amendment carried 4-0.
After the amendment, the council voted to suspend the three readings of the ordinance (motion by Max Allen, seconded by Curt Oblinger; carried 4-0), then passed Ordinance 683 as amended (motion by Max Allen, seconded by Sue Sapp; carried 4-0).
The change narrows the named membership of the volunteer department’s executive committee to four officer positions and removes the previously listed secretary/treasurer position. No effective date for the ordinance was specified in the meeting record.
The action followed discussion during the council’s regular meeting and was completed by unanimous votes. The council did not provide additional background materials in the minutes beyond the amendment language and the recorded votes.
