RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Since the resignation of Chief Gillespie, the Augusta Commission
has unsuccessfully attempted to appoint a permanent fire chief and it is necessary to
declare that process terminated. .
WHEREAS, the Augusta Commission has an experienced fire fighter presently
serving as Interim Fire Chief.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT: I, Andy Cheek, move that we
adopt a policy for fire chief appointment which recognizes four (4) years of employment
in a fire service position to be the equivalent of one (1) year of the four (4) year college
degree requirement presently in the Augusta Code, and direct the attorney to prepare an
amendment to the present qualifications so as to authorize the appointment of Howard
"Bubba" Willis as fire chief and that this appointment be voted on at the next commission
meeting in order to comply with the Georgia Open Meetings and Open Records Act.
