Commissioner Kirkmeyer noted the definition looks slightly different than other places in the Code, so it should be evaluated. Commissioner Kirkmeyer proposed the language in red in Sec 7-3-50, regarding criminal records and hiring, should be attached to G.5 instead, so it is not overlooked. She also requested formal written or public comment from the EMTS Council and the fire chiefs on these Code changes prior to the final reading.
