PRESS RELEASE
November 15, 2019
The Watertown City Council went into executive session from a work session of the
Council held on Tuesday, November 12, 2019, to discuss, among other allowable topics,
“pending litigation.” Council members discussed the status of a grievance filed by the
Watertown Professional Firefighter’s Association Local 191 pertaining to a November 12,
2017 directive to the Watertown Fire Department that when operational staffing fell below 15
members per shift, including the Battalion Chief, as the result of fire personnel reporting out
on sick leave for that shift, the backfilling with overtime for those personnel must cease. The
directive also stated that at no time would overall shift personnel drop below 13 members,
including the Battalion Chief.
