Doug, did budget committee member Tom Bukiewicz indicate who on the department was qualified and would accept the stipend, and what their qualifications are? It's interesting given that the department comprised of people who are arguably subject matter experts on providing protection would adjust their bylaws to require that a fire chief meet specific training and certifications requirements - seems to imply they don't feel there is a qualified candidate internally. Did he define what he considered "qualified"? I would be curious to know how he arrives at that conclusion, as it seems contrary to the position the fire department has taken.
Who cares what Tom B says or thinks lol, I think Vash or the Building Inspector should be our Fire Chief! But wait a minute, why are we talking about getting a new Chief? Wasn’t Chief Curry just elected last month? Chairman Bartlett said he’s doing a good job. What if Rock Superior throws out the town’s investigation report into the former Fire Chief and rules it null and void? Are we going to have 2, maybe 3 Fire Chiefs? This whole Nottingham Fire Department drama is turning out to be pretty darned sketchy to say the least. I sure wish the BoS would just come clean with the taxpayers and tell us what they’ve really been up to at the Fire Department. Exciting!

No, he did not identify the person nor did he go into any of these details.
