Resolution 16-04

State statute provides that a person appointed fire chief must have had five (5) years continuous service with the fire department immediately before his or her appointment. However, this requirement may be waived by a majority vote of the legislative body upon request of the city executive. Mayor John Hamilton desires to appoint Jason Moore as fire chief, and requests that the Common Council waive the five-years-of-continuous-service requirement. This resolution waives the five-year continuous service requirement.
