Once these standards have been established, we have to stand by them. In the past, we have been operating -on a case by case situation. The.secretary was instructed to write letters to communities similar in growth to North Olmsted to determine if they are following similar standards when hiring Fire Fighters/Patrolmen. Due to the fact that the current secretary is resigning, these letters will be done at a later time.
