North College Hill holds special meeting after most of its fire department quits

More than a dozen North College Hill firefighters quit Friday citing “many” unresolved issues, “hostile actions” by two top city officials and a “seemingly lack of accountability.”NORTH COLLEGE HILL, Ohio - North College Hill City Council met behind closed doors for about two hours Saturday morning after most of its fire department quit Friday but took no official action when they emerged and immediately adjourned.

There about about 25 active duty firefighters now in North Collge Hill, which has about 9,556 residents. At least one is on leave because he’s going through the Cincinnati Police Department’s academy. “There has been an ongoing investigation into several issues and concerns that were brought to our attention regarding the Fire Department. The results, to date, of that investigation did not provide the outcome they were looking for. Since this investigation is currently underway, we will not provide further comment at that time,” the statement reads.

“As most of you are aware, there have been multiple issues and concerns voiced and presented with regard to the poor performance and hostile actions of City Administrator Jennifer Ekey and HR Clerk Debra Eldridge as they relate to the fire department operations and its members,” the letter states. The city’s law director met with off-duty firefighters on Feb. 9 to try to resolve some of the issues and wide array of accusations between firefighters and city administrators, FOX19 NOW has confirmed.

The city was given 90 days to revise its financial records and provide the data necessary to complete the audit or face legal action.Book-to-bank cash reconciliations for 2020
