Council adopts emergency resolution to hire two firefighters
Summary
The Strasburg Village Council unanimously approved an emergency resolution to hire two firefighters, allowing hires to take effect immediately, following fire department staffing and equipment updates.
The Strasburg Village Council unanimously approved Resolution 2026-22, an emergency measure to hire two firefighters, during its July 7 meeting. The motion to approve the resolution was made by Martin Zehnder and seconded by Lewis Dreher; at roll call all members voted in favor and the resolution takes effect immediately.
Village leaders framed the hires as an immediate personnel need tied to department staffing. Fire Chief Jason Ely had reported the department’s recent activity and training milestones earlier in the meeting, and the council approved related equipment purchases funded in part by a State EMS grant of $3,277.98. The emergency resolution followed those operational updates.
The council’s vote was recorded as unanimous by members present: Wes Hostetler, Lewis Dreher, Jeff Smith, Kathy Burrier, Jason Marks, and Martin Zehnder. No alternate or opposing positions were recorded in the transcript. The council reconvened after an executive session later in the evening and adjourned at 7:32 p.m.
