Who Will Lead The Suffield Fire Commission? Chair Vote Set For Tuesday

SUFFIELD, CT — The Suffield Fire Commission does not currently have an elected chair and has scheduled a special meeting to address the issue and take up other business.

A public statement circulating in town says the commission’s only elected officer previously called a special meeting for the purpose of electing a chairperson. It says a quorum of members indicated they were available for a Friday, Feb. 6 meeting at 6 p.m., but only half of the commission attended.

The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Fire Station 2, 9 Ratley Road.

The official agenda filed with the town clerk lists “Election of Fire Commission Chair” and “Discussion and approval of the FY 26/27 Fire Commission Budget” among the items to be considered. It identifies the meeting as a special meeting called by First Selectman and Interim Fire Commission Chair Colin Moll.

No copy of the proposed budget is attached to the filed agenda.

The posted agenda also does not include any information on how residents could watch the meeting virtually or access it via Zoom. It is unclear whether the meeting will be livestreamed or otherwise made available remotely.
