The Hammond City board set a disciplinary hearing for a firefighter for June 18, 2026, after city staff said the firefighter and his attorney had coordinated an available time.
"We've coordinated a date with his attorney of June 18th, 2026 at 9:45 a.m.," Mr. Smith told the board and asked that the board send the statutory notice to the firefighter's attorney. The board recommended approval and directed staff to issue the notice.
City staff noted the scheduling was intended to preserve the board's regular business calendar; the staff also said the board may need to reconvene or reschedule if a quorum is unavailable on the chosen date. The board asked staff to notify the attorney and confirmed it would adjust the date if necessary.
Next steps: staff will issue the statutory notice to the firefighter's attorney and report back if the hearing date must be changed because of board member availability.
