During the now three-year effort to consolidate Hamilton's eight autonomous fire districts into one unified fire service, the matter has been before the township council many times - usually for discussion or debate.
Now, they have an ordinance, and a resolution.
An ordinance to dissolve the districts and create a single municipal fire department - and a resolution for the state's Local Finance Board to bless the move - is on the Hamilton council's agenda.
The measures will have their first readings at the council meeting Tuesday evening.
The target date for the district dissolutions and new department is Jan. 1, 2019.
If all is approved, and the state green lights it, the new Hamilton Fire Department will be led by a fire chief, employee about 130 firefighters and have a proposed budget of about $26 million.
Some leaders see this as progress, and positive.
