Harvard Fire Protection District news

Excerpts from the Northwestherald.com:

Harvard Fire Protection District board Secretary Joe Clarke announced during Tuesday’s meeting that he will be stepping down from his secretarial role, but he said he will continue to serve the district through his current term. The board voted, 3-0, to accept Clarke’s resignation, effective immediately. 

An action item calling for Clarke to step down as secretary and be replaced by trustee Josh Kelnhofer appeared on the board’s agenda Sunday, but board President Tom Condon said that the item had been removed. 

Condon also announced Tuesday that he would not be seeking reappointment as the board’s president. He said that after serving 18 years as president, it was time for some new blood, change, and new ideas to come forward.
