The Oswego City Fire Department has a new assistant chief, now that the Oswego Common Council approved the employment agreement Monday.
Michael Zalewski was appointed as assistant fire chief by the Common Council by a 6-0 vote. Zalewski joins a slew of appointments by OFD, including the 12th chief of the department, Paul Conzone. Zalewski was recognized during the department’s change-of-command ceremony on Nov. 18. “It’s getting to be a pretty regular thing,” he said.
In other business, a house in the city of Oswego is slated to be demolished. The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house at 46 Mercer St. is an “unsightly property” in the neighborhood, just a block from the new park at Oswego’s waterfront, said Jeff McGann, the code enforcement director and the planning & zoning administrator.
