The Southington Board of Fire Commissioners is planning to post an advertisement for a vacant assistant chief position with a salary higher than current proposal. The position has been vacant for an extended period and the job description and posting are ready after consultation with a labor attorney. However, there were concerns about a lower salary figure proposed by Southingon Town Manager Alex Ricciardone, which was submitted without consultation with the fire commission. The selected candidate will receive a written offer signed by the candidate and the town manager.
