The Board voted 6/1, without reviewing details of impact on the budget (as suggested by Treasurer Langlois) to approve Township Manager Dale Stewart’s proposal to appoint Lou Danek to this reinstated full-time combined position. Maintenance of the township buildings has suffered somewhat since this position was unfilled when Paul Strelchuk was promoted from this position to Fire Chief in early 2013 to replace Bill Benoit. Maintenance and repair was done on an ad-hoc basis by various township employees (including Lou) or contractors. Prior to this appointment Lou has been Assistant Fire Chief as a Paid-on-Call member. He has been a member of OTFD since at least 1991 with a current Medical First Responder License and firefighting qualifications.
