PURPOSE: To consider approving the appointment of trustees to the local fire department<br />
relief funds boards as recommended by the local fire department chiefs.<br />
BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statute 58-84-30 directs that local fire department<br />
members are required to hold election in January of each year to elect members to serve on the<br />
local fire department relief fund. The NC Commissioner of Insurance is also directed to appoint<br />
one representative to serve as a trustee at the recommendation of the local governing body and<br />
fire department chief. Members are elected for terms of one year and two year cycles as to<br />
alternate trustees.<br />
During the month of January, the boards for local fire departments met and subsequently<br />
provided recommendations during the month of February. The processing time and scheduling<br />
framework directed these selections to the BOCC’s second March meeting. The fire marshal is<br />
going to recommend to the departments that future recommendations to the BOCC for<br />
appointments be discussed departmentally in December and scheduled for BOCC consideration<br />
in January.<br />
The proposed appointments for BOCC consideration are:<br />
Cedar Grove Fire Department: James Horner and Angie Thompson<br />
White Cross Fire Department: Kathy Stewart and Jason Castevens<br />
Caldwell Fire Department: Van Harris and Rob Seeyle<br />
Orange Grove Fire Department: Bill Waddell<br />
New Hope Fire Department: Eddie Walker and Brian Blalock<br />
Efland Fire Department: Clark Brooks and Jason Hackler<br />
