Board concurs with recommended fire-department promotions from Chief Bernard Grazolia
Correspondence from Fire Chief Bernard Grazolia listed several recommended promotions and reassignments, including Senior Captain Eric Jaeger to assistant chief drill master effective 09/09/2026; Captain Ronald Gunzorowski to senior captain effective 09/09/2026; Engineer 1 Jeremy Patton to captain effective 09/24/2026; Engineer 1 Matthew McBroom to captain effective 09/10/2026; a reassignment for Assistant Chief Drill Master Ryan Anguiano to Engineer 1 effective 09/13/2026; and private Scott Henrick to engineer 1 effective 09/10/2026.

A board member said, "I recommend approval," and the chair concurred on the record. The transcript does not include individual roll-call votes; the item was handled by recommendation and concurrence.

Why it matters: the promotions change departmental leadership and operational ranks in the Hammond Fire Department on specific effective dates identified in the correspondence.
