The Oak Creek Common Council has requested the Police and Fire Commission appoint a permanent fire chief.

The fire department has been without one since Brian Satula retired in May. Tom Rosandich has served as acting chief in the time since.

Former Mayor Dick Bolender wanted to hold off on naming a permanent chief in light of discussions about consolidation with neighboring communities.

But with little progress made on that front, city officials believe it's time to name a permanent replacement for Satula.

The council approved the request 6-0 in its meeting Tuesday.
