North Huron approves new positions for FDNH
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
The Fire Department of North
Huron will be seeking two new hires
to help fill out the station and make
the Emergency Services Training
Centre (ESTC) a success.
In a review presented to North
Huron Township Council on
Monday night, FDNH Chief Ryan
Ladner and outgoing Chief
Administrative Officer Sharon
Chambers presented a report
highlighting the needs of the
department.
The report outlined the need for an
Assistant Chief/Vice Principal of the
ESTC to bring more training
business to the site. The new
position would report to Ladner, but
not be connected to the governance
of the fire department, according to a
proposed organization chart.
The Assistant Chief/Vice Principal
and Fire Prevention Officer contract
employee would result in a
salary/benefits increase of
$29,499.54 according to Ladner's
report.
Ladner, in the report, said the
position would pay $64,350 per year
with $19,305 in benefits, however
that would be offset by the fact that
the ESTC recently declined to renew
an administrative assistant who was

s' AD CENTR
paid $36,348 with $10,904 in
benefits and the fact that the Fire
Prevention Officer contract
employee would cost $12,592 plus
$2,130.09 in benefits, approximately
$35,000 less each year than the
contract North Huron had with
Morris-Turnberry for the same
project.
The recommendation from Ladner
and Chambers came both from the
former's review of the ESTC and
FDNH, but also from a report
commissioned by North Huron
from KPMG Inc. that reviewed
the ESTC and its operating
opportunities, which was delivered
to North Huron last year.
Council was happy to see the
project moving forward, however,
several comments were made that
the new Assistant Chief/Vice
Principal, and to some extent
Ladner, would be required to
produce results.
"It's important that we move
forward and important to invest in
the ESTC," Councillor Trevor Seip
said. "I'm not sure the ESTC has had
a fair shake with regards to [what] it
requires to make it successful.
"I've been very adamant...
however, that if we're hiring another
individual to complement the chief,
we have to make sure this person
knows their job is... to make the
ESTC work. If it doesn't work, they
won't be an employee very long."
Councillor Bill Knott agreed,
saying he welcomes the changes and
"looks forward to seeing results
shortly, very shortly."
Chambers said the issue had been
in front of council for some time and
she was happy to have it dealt with
prior to her departure from the
municipality in a few weeks.
Council approved a motion that
will see an Assistant Chief/Vice
Principal brought to the ESTC as
well as the contract position for
Fire Prevention Officer for North
Huron and Ashfield -Colborne- information on Ladner's new
Wawanosh filled. direction for the FDNH and the
Watch The Citizen for more ESTC.
