Fire chief wins commission approval for two written warnings
Summary
Elkhart City Fire Chief Dale asked the commission to approve written warnings for Lieutenant Mike Nemas and firefighter Chris Cuomo; commissioners approved both warnings by voice vote after motions and seconds.
Elkhart City Fire Chief Dale told the Fire Commission he was seeking approval for written warnings for two department members and asked commissioners to act on the personnel matters.
"I'll start with the bad news," Chief Dale said before asking the commission to approve a written warning for Lieutenant Mike Nemas. After a motion and a second, the commission approved the written warning by voice vote. Chief Dale then requested approval of a written warning for firefighter Chris Cuomo; that warning likewise received a motion, second and voice approval.
Chief Dale said the reasons for both warnings had been outlined to commissioners in advance. The transcript records multiple spellings for Lieutenant Nemas's surname ("Niemas," "Nemas," "Nemes"); for clarity this report uses "Mike Nemas," the form used when the chief referenced the lieutenant’s rank. The commission did not specify alternate disciplinary measures during the meeting.
