Montgomery County Emergency Services District No.  7 Fire Chief Howard Rinewalt declined his appointment to serve as Roman Forest Position 3 council member, according to a May 20 Facebook post.

The details: Rinewalt was appointed to the position during the council’s May 18 meeting. 

Rinewalt said he decided to decline his appointment to the position after hearing feedback from other residents.

“I’ve been a resident of this community for 13 years, and when the opportunity arose, my intention was simply to help serve, learn, and contribute positively to the city I care about,” Rinewalt said in the post. “While I truly appreciate the confidence and support shown to me, I also respect that many community members were passionate about wanting a different direction.”

What’s next: Roman Forest City Administrator Scott Castleberry said council members will likely consider a new nominee to serve as Position 3 council member at the council’s June 22 meeting.
