Washington City Council took on several personnel moves during their June voting meeting. The biggest move was to approve a grievance settlement with the International Association of Fire Fighters. The action is centered on previous actions in April where two city fire fighters were terminated and two others faced lesser disciplinary actions. City of Washington Fire Chief Chris Richer was unable to offer any comment on the settlement, or the circumstances surrounding the incidents, citing the necessity to have all parties sign off on the agreement. He said detailed information would be available once all documents are signed and fully executed. In two subsequent actions following the authorization, retirements of two fire fighters were accepted. Richer did acknowledge that those retirements are related to the grievance settlement. In other personnel moves, Police Corporals Brad Resnick and Rodger Frazee were promoted to Sergeant. Officers Bill Dennison and Nick Powell were promoted to Corporal. Public works also had a promotion where Dennis Amon was hired to fill the position of Public Works Street Superintendent. In day to day business, council authorized the City Controller to pay off the $1.3 million Tax Anticipation Note early.
