Lower Allen accepts EMS resignation, appoints public‑safety staff and authorizes camera purchase
Summary
The board accepted the resignation of EMT Anthony Durr, authorized recruitment to fill a full‑time EMT vacancy, approved three public‑safety appointments and authorized a $9,401.83 camera purchase for Lisburn Community Fire Company; all motions passed unanimously.
The board accepted the resignation of EMT Anthony Durr effective July 11, 2026, while Director Brown noted he will continue on a part‑time basis to assist during the transition. Commissioners then authorized advertising for a full‑time EMT vacancy that the board described as budgeted.
Resolutions adopted included: Resolution 2026‑R‑23 appointing Chase Heckman as a full‑time hybrid EMT/PSO effective 07/13/2026; Resolution 2026‑R‑24 appointing Thomas Kidd as a full‑time PSO effective 07/13/2026; and Resolution 2026‑R‑25 appointing Isaiah Smith as a full‑time paramedic effective 06/29/2026. Vice President Nagy moved the personnel resolutions and each passed 5–0.
Director Hall requested authorization to purchase three cameras from Gridless Power Corporation (a vendor for the Ricotta system) to augment security monitoring at Lisburn Community Fire Company, citing prior damage to the building and grounds. The quoted cost was $9,401.83; the board approved the purchase.
Why it matters: The appointments restore budgeted public‑safety staffing and ensure planned coverage is filled; the camera purchase is intended to improve property security and investigative capacity at a volunteer fire company location.
What’s next: Staff will advertise the EMT vacancy and proceed with onboarding for newly appointed public‑safety staff. The camera purchase will move forward per the approved memorandum and existing MOU with Lisburn Community Fire Company.
