Panel agrees subcommittee will vet fire marshal candidates for mayor's office
Summary
Committee decided the subcommittee should advise the mayor's office by vetting and interviewing candidates for the county fire marshal/coordinator and continue in an advisory capacity for that position and related committees.
The committee agreed the volunteer fire service subcommittee will make itself available to the mayor's office to identify and vet candidates for the county fire marshal or coordinator and to continue advising that position and related committees.
A version read into the record stated: "This subcommittee shall make itself available to help the mayor's office identify and vet appropriate candidates for the position of Southern County Fire Marshal slash coordinator and continue in an advisory capacity for that position as well as the ATMS committee." Members clarified the subcommittee's role is advisory and that the mayor retains appointment authority.
Discussion also covered whether the subcommittee's work should extend to municipalities without contracts; committee members said the coordinator should have authority to negotiate joint trainings and multi-jurisdictional agreements but that formal guidance to cities without contracts should be limited.
