ALSO: The three part-time fire-fighter positions currently in academy training could become full-time positions sometime later in 2015 if Mayor Guenther can push that through. Democrat council; McClay, Delucry & Piccardi may join hands with their Republican colleagues and could be OK with those additional full-time hires.
