Robert Greenlaw former Director of Emergency Management back ???
…the fly has learned that Robert Greenlaw former Director of Emergency Management, Director of Emergency Services and Director of Northwest Central Dispatch who now lives in Ohio has been seen in Ridgewood recently.
Speculation continues to swirl in certain groups that Mr. Greenlaw is being interviewed by the current Council for the position of Public Safety Director. This after the skyrocketing Police and Fire overtime, compensatory time, sick time and vacation that the current Police and Fire management are unable or unwilling to control. Mr Greenlaw who is also know for is organizational skills and his ability to recruit volunteers may be asked to combine redundant equipment and services of the three dept.
He also may be asked to recruit or combine the Emergency Services volunteers into the Police and Fire ranks to reduce cost. This in light of the newly elected Council member call for lower taxes and reduced cost.
Talk about saving money I wounder they don’t close that old fire house on Glenn after all the main fire house is only 800 ft away. Paying to maintain that old house and the cost to heat and cool it must cost the Village a lot of money. Selling the land would put money back in the budget.
