County schedules interviews for fire post; police chief finalists advance toward executive session
Summary
County Administrator Adam told the board the fire department received 20 applications and interviews for the top five candidates are set for Thursday; police chief finalists have been interviewed and an executive session will be scheduled to review results.
County Administrator Adam told the board the county received 20 applications for its open fire department position and has scheduled interviews for the top five candidates this coming Thursday. "We received, 20 applications for the position," he said, and said all board members should have calendar invites in their Outlook schedules.
Adam listed the planned interview panel and external reviewers: Mike Kelly of the Oklahoma Firefighters Association, Jonathan Strayhorn and Chad Tanner (both described as fire marshals), and Chief Beagles of the Deer Creek Fire Department. On police recruitment, he said in-person interviews with the police-chief finalists have concluded and staff will seek a future executive session — either in a special meeting or a regular meeting — to discuss interview results and next steps.
The update did not identify finalist names or give a specific selection date; Adam said only that the county is "very close to selecting a great candidate for this community." The board did not take a vote during the report.
