RAISIN TWP., Mich. — Eliminating the Raisin Township public safety director position and separating the police and fire departments is being considered by the township board after Scott Lambka announced he would resign this week.
In a letter dated Aug. 26, Lambka resigned as public safety director effective Friday, Sept. 5, and recommended eliminating the position. Initial discussion of the resignation took place at a meeting Aug. 27 of township department heads and continued at a special board meeting Tuesday.
“It is my opinion that we were mistaken to merge the police and fire departments. This has created an administrative quagmire that really hasn’t benefited the township at all,” Lambka wrote in his letter. “I would like to suggest that you abandon the director’s position and return to a police chief and fire chief system.”
