Chief To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Board of Fire Wardens Date: December 11,1996 Honorable i Mayor The 13 members of the Fire Council express our displeasure with the way you have handled the vacant position of Code Enforcement Officer. On Tuesday November 12th you and the members of the Board of Trustees interviewed applicants for the position. One cf the applicants was Ex-Chief Richard Gross from this department. Mr. Gross was the only NYS CERTIFIED CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER of all the candidates. This council wants the public to know that Mr.Gross has had a letter of consideration for this position on file with you since May 16,1996 and you have taken no action to hire a QUILIFIED and life long resident of this village. Mr.James Margotta, your building inspector has been receiving a portion of the money budjeted from the Code Enforcement line for doing this extra work over and above his present duties. This council feels that you the Mayor have personal reasons why you have not placed Mr.Gross's name before the Board of Trustees for approval. ARE YOU MR. MAYOR WAITING FOR A PERSONAL FRIEND TO COMPLETE THE PRESENT CODES COURSE SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED IN JANUARY ? 1 I �As Chief of this department I consider your handling of this matter to be completely unprofessional and little or no regard for the safety of the residents of this Village. I would appreciate hearing comments from the Trustees as to their evaluation of the candidates interviewed and who they recommend to fill the vacant position. I consider all the personal who serve under me to be the best in the field of fire service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
