Fire Chief Robert Lloyd won’t be coming back to the department he has managed for the past 14 years.
The Town Council early Tuesday voted unanimously to “accept the resignation of the fire chief in lieu of termination for no money,” Council President Robert Coulter said in the form of a motion that was approved by all seven council members.
The council met with Town Administrator Jan Reitsma and the town’s labor attorney, Timothy Cavazza, in executive session at the end of the scheduled council meeting and emerged from the administrator’s office at 12:10 a.m. to take the vote.
Lloyd has been on paid administrative leave since late October.
Reitsma announced soon after the chief went on leave that he was conducting an investigation, but would not divulge the reason for the probe. He said on Friday he had completed his investigation and hoped to present it to the council in executive session Monday night.
