BoardRutland City Charter & Ordinance Committee Meeting Minutes
The committee discussed several items regarding the Rutland City Charter and Ordinances. Key topics included a proposal to change the term 'fireman' to 'firefighter' throughout the charter to adopt gender-neutral language, the review of requirements regarding firefighters belonging to other fire or hose companies, and the residency requirements for firefighters. Specifically, the committee deliberated on expanding the residency radius from 5 miles to 15 miles for firefighters to improve flexibility while maintaining public safety response times.
