LIBERTY TWP.

The Liberty Twp. trustees are going back to square one in their search for a new fire chief after one candidate turned down their job offer and another dropped out of the applicant pool.

Trustee Tom Farrell said he is not happy with the job the Ohio Fire Chiefs Association did in finding suitable candidates so the township will continue its search solo.

Im not happy. Im not sure that they did anything wrong, but the point is you hire someone to bring you these top candidates and they are the leaders in their field, you expect them to bring you the top candidates, Farrell said. We didnt get that.

The township paid the OFCA $12,150 to search and screen 19 candidates who applied, only two were internal candidates.

Fire Chief Paul Stumpf announced his retirement last September and gave the trustees a year to find his replacement.
