Selectboard appoints Steve Willard as deputy forest fire warden to meet state rule
Summary
Because state rules require the Fire Warden be the Fire Chief, the Selectboard appointed volunteer Steve Willard as Deputy Forest Fire Warden so he can continue carrying out warden duties; motion passed 5-0.
The Selectboard unanimously appointed Steve Willard as Deputy Forest Fire Warden to ensure the town complies with new state requirements that the Fire Warden role be held by the Fire Chief.
Members discussed that the state’s requirement could be met by delegating Fire Warden duties to a deputy. Steve Willard explained that the law allows appointment of a deputy with delegated duties; Julia Andrews moved to appoint him as Deputy Forest Fire Warden and the board approved the motion 5-0.
