Mr. Stephens voting Hno".
Mr. Stephens Bsked that his reason be shown in the minutes as follm<1B ~
HI have the greatest respect for the two ChiefS, but I don't think there is any
substitute for experience Bnd 1 think that it takes time to gain experience to
the extent where a man ia mature enough to assume command of other people and
train them and direct them under periods of duress and emergency~ In Chief '
Daniel's case where he has ,a shortage now, I would prefer to make a special
exception and approve one, two or three of these people because I can see down
the road five or six years where lowering this requirement could lead to Borne
real serious problems in the event we should get some people in these command
positions who are not ready for them because of lack of job experience. For that
reason, I vote "no".
Mr. Blackstone moved that the present requirement for promotional examination to
Fire Lieutenant from Firefighter be changed from 4 years experience to 2 years
experience. Seconded by Mr. Ramsey~ Motion carried with Mr. Stephens voting
"nou. ';.
