Commissioners approve hire request; new fire chief Sean Tuggle introduced

Linn County Board of Commissioners · August 10, 2026

Summary

The board approved a hire request for the fire department and commissioners were introduced to the department's newly named chief, Sean Tuggle, during the fire department report.

During the fire department report, the department reported recent call activity and requested permission to hire Kyle Rockers to the 09:50 station at Lacey pending preemployment screenings. The fire report speaker asked for the hire: "I would like to ask permission to hire Kyle Rockers to our 09:50 station at Lacey, pending all preemployment screenings." A motion to hire Rockers was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Later in the same report a speaker introduced the incoming fire chief, saying, "I would also like to introduce our new fire chief, Sean Tuggle." Commissioners welcomed him to the role. The introductions and the hire were recorded during the fire department agenda item; no additional staffing authorizations or budget motions tied to the hire were recorded in the transcript.
