Re: Justin Levy Resignation
Background:
Justin Levy joined the Scandia Fire department 10/01/2019. He came to us with pervious firefighting
service, but did need to complete his EMT certification. His ultimate goal was to become a full time
firefighter, unable to find full time employment in the area he started looking out of state for
employment. He decided to accept a firefighting position in Maryland.
I have included his resignation letter with this report.
Issue:
Should the Council accept the resignation of Justin Levy?
Proposal Details:
Accept the resignation and continue to recruit new members every year.
Fiscal Impact:
Justin was currently paid $13.33/hour and made 70% of the calls first ½ of 2021.
Options:
1) Accept Justin Levy’s Resignation.
2) Deny Justin Levy’s resignation
Recommendation:
Option 1.
Chief Hinz,
First and foremost, I want to thank you for the opportunity of being a firefighter/EMT with the City of
Scandia. I have truly enjoyed my time here. As you are aware I have been in the hiring process for a Live-
ln position with Berwyn Heights Fire and Rescue Squad in Prince George County, Maryland. I have
completed and passed all the requirements for the position and have been offered the position, which I
have since accepted. I am now writing to inform you that my last day with the City of Scandia Fire and
Rescue will be Ftiday 8/2O/2O21. I will however like to keep my options open in case things do not work
out and I move back to Scandia.
