Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved creating a new deputy fire chief position to serve as second-in-command in the fire department. Currently, there's no leadership role between the fire chief and lower-ranking officers, which this new position would fill. The deputy chief would help manage daily fire department operations. This is an administrative change that establishes the job classification but doesn't immediately hire anyone or allocate specific funding for the role.
