Keys Talks Back to Firefighters Over Minimum Manpower
Elyria mayor Michael Keys defends a new two-man swing crew policy for snorkel and rescue trucks, arguing minimum staffing is 17 per shift and could lead to delays if two calls occur. Firefighter union president Mark Horton and Fire Chief Ron Novak seek more personnel, while budget limits keep additions unlikely. Also noted are city and county negotiations, an oversight on the PIC contract wording, Rep Don Pease receiving a Hunger awareness award, and Paulette Lilly becoming Lorain County’s first female full-time city prosecutor.
