Does anyone know where IFD stands on hiring? I know they have been in a consolidation with surrounding townships. I understand that Wayne and Decatur are next to consolidate. Also, PERF has started a new DROP program that allows firefighters to leave now instead of waiting. Does IFD expect many firefighters to take this option? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

There is a list in place if hiring ever occurs again. The last merger brought us about 25 extra people. We had some retirements in 2010 but not enough to offset the extras. The only way the 3 westside townships will consoidate right now is if they are forced by the legislature during the current session. There is a PERF lump sum payment aside from the DROP. I do not see a new process in the immediate future but I will put it on here if it happens.

Can we move this discussion to the old thread for future questions please so I don't have to follow 2 threads. Thanks

The current list is set to expire. I do not forsee any hiring in the next year or two based on the mergers and the economy. We have some retirements in the next two years that could give reason to hire but it will depend on other mergers over that time period. I will post on a new topic on this forum should we start a process in the near future. It stinks for those who made it on the list to have it expire, but those who want it will try again I hope.
