Bolton Fire Commission accepts department�nominations for chief and deputy chief

The Bolton Fire Commission on April 24, 2017 accepted nominations from the Bolton Volunteer Fire Department naming Bruce Dixon for chief and Peter Morra for deputy chief for the coming year. Chairwoman Cheryl Udin read a letter dated April 18, 2017 from N. James Preuss Sr., president of the Bolton Volunteer Fire Department, which stated: "At the April Fire Department business meeting, Bruce Dixon was nominated for Chief and Peter Morra was nominated for Deputy Chief for the coming year. The department would like the Fire Commission to accept these nominations as presented."

Commissioner John Roback moved to accept the nominations, Commissioner Robert Langton seconded the motion, and the minutes record the vote as unanimous (VU). The minutes do not record further discussion, any opposition, or a formal swearing-in date. The record also notes that a person identified in the minutes as "Chief Dixon" was absent from the meeting; the minutes do not clarify whether that reference is to the same Dixon named in the letter.
