Board approves firefighter of the year nomination; commissioner suggests broader annual recognitions
Summary
Emergency Management Director Pat Korte submitted a nomination for Firefighter of the Year; the Board approved the nomination and directed a plaque be ordered for the February recognition dinner. Commissioner Keith Kelly recommended future recognition include nominations from each fire chief and milestone acknowledgments.
Emergency Management Director Pat Korte presented the single nomination she had received for Firefighter of the Year and the Board approved the nomination; Pat was instructed to order a plaque for presentation at the February recognition dinner.
Commissioner Keith Kelly suggested the county consider a different recognition model in future years, asking that each fire chief acknowledge a few top firefighters and that longevity milestones be recognized rather than awarding one individual each year. The Board did not record a formal motion on changing the program, but the suggestion was entered into the meeting record.
