Mayor Barb Dempsey led a swearing‑in and certificate presentation honoring recent personnel changes in the Mount Clemens Fire Department.
Josh Ringstead was sworn in and recognized for his service since joining the department as a full‑time firefighter in March 2016 after years as a volunteer; the mayor noted he is the 100th full‑time firefighter hired by the city. Thomas (Tom) (Lieutenant) was recognized for promotion to lieutenant after serving since 2001. Greg Hoy was promoted to captain, with the mayor noting his longstanding connection to the community.
Why it matters: The promotions and hiring bolster the fire department’s full‑time roster and highlight a recruitment pipeline from volunteer ranks into full‑time positions, which the mayor and other officials framed as positive for public safety and community service.
Next steps: Commissioners congratulated the personnel and the meeting proceeded to the scheduled department‑head reports and budget hearing.
