From the meeting
The board discussed the retirement of Fire Chief Douglas Chappell and directed staff to announce the impending vacancy and begin recruiting candidates. This is a leadership trigger that can affect budget priorities, apparatus planning, and future vendor decisions. The opportunity is the hiring process itself; any follow-on needs will likely be shaped after the new chief is in place.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
