Tonight I have the honor and the privilege of swearing in Mr. Makyle Grant for the Mayfield Village Fire Department and also Frank Stupczy as our Service Director. Before I do that, I just wanted to say that I am overwhelmed by the presence from both the Fire Department and Service Department so that Frank and Makyle know that these are your people. All of Mayfield Village are your friends, we will have your back. We will support you and encourage you through your journey here. We hope that it is successful and safe for both of you. We all know that you will be there to support us also. Thank you. I have asked Chief Carcioppolo if he would say a few words about you Makyle and introduce you. Chief Carcioppolo stated, good evening everyone. I wanted to just introduce Makyle to everyone. We have a pretty stringent interview and screening process. All of us were very impressed with Makyle. He is professional. He is dedicated. He is a product of the Excel TECC program that all of the schools participate in. He graduated in June of 2022 from Brush High School. Within a couple of months from then he was hired part-time at Wickliffe Fire Department. He followed his brother through the same program. All of us were impressed. He is professional. He is dedicated. For a young 20-year-old, he carries himself like a much more seasoned veteran. We are excited to have him on board to fill Assistant Chief Jeff Federico's vacancy. We are lucky. I am happy for him to start his career so young. He was driven and wanted to be in Mayfield Village. Being on the regional test, a lot of the candidates had different ideals of where they wanted to work, but Makyle was steadfast that he wanted to be a part of our team here. Without further ado, I will turn it back over to the Mayor to get him pinned and start working tomorrow.
