Chillicothe City Council members plan to amend a city ordinance relating to city services outside the city limits and discusss a resolution retiring the badges and numbers of two emergency services personnel who were killed in the line of duty in 1994. The council will take up these matters when they gather for their regular semi-monthly meeting Monday evening at City Hall.
The proposed amendment relating to city services to be considered enacts an indefinite moratorium on the extension of municipal water and sewer service outside the city limits. This means that after the ordinance’s passage, anyone who requests to hook onto city water or sewer services must be annexed into the city if they are eligible to be annexed, according to City Administrator Dean Brookshier.
The agenda also calls for the introduction of two new employees of the Chillicothe Department of Emergency Services: Trevor James as a firefighter/paramedic; and James Jeffries as a firefighter/EMT. Both were hired within the last several weeks.
Mayor Chuck Haney will present ordinances and resolutions retiring the badges and numbers of Firefigther/Paramedic David Mosher and Engineer/EMT Marcus Carr who were killed in a vehicle accident while in the line of duty. Mosher’s badge number was 311. Carr’s badge number was 308.
The resolution states that the badges and numbers will be retired “in order to show honor and respect” to the “outstanding” employees.
Council members will also consider bids for garage doors at the fire station as well as truck repairs and accessories.
An executive session, closed to the public, may follow the regular council meeting.
