Finding F7

At a City Council meeting on December 5, 2024 the Mayor/City Council member who also simultaneously held the office of Acting Fire Chief, sat on City Council and did step down from the City Council or recuse himself as a member of the City Council, when hearing and presiding over an agenda item regarding his position held as the Acting Fire Chief, after hearing a Petition of No Confidence submitted to the City by 16 firefighters asking the Montague City Council to remove him as the Acting Fire Chief. This demonstrates that there is an issue of incompatible offices here, the Mayor/City Council member heard and discussed an issue regarding himself while on the City Council dais, for a performance evaluation for Montague Fire Assistant Fire Chief.
