The Tri-Cities is getting another chief Delmonico - this time in Port Coquitlam.
Nick Delmonico, the older brother of Coquitlam fire chief Tony Delmonico, will be taking over as head of PoCo Fire and Emergency services.
The elder Delmonico comes to the Tri-Cities from Vancouver's Fire and Rescue Services, where he began his 32-year career moving up the ranks to deputy fire chief in 2008. He will begin his new position as chief in PoCo on Monday (July 11).
"I'm thrilled to be joining the city of Port Coquitlam and serving the community that I am part of," Delmonico said. "The city's fire department has a great reputation and I look forward to ensuring that it continues to provide the best possible service to the citizens of Port Coquitlam."
The move will considerably shorten Delmonico's commute. He is a Tri-City resident and currently spends much of his spare time coaching the Port Coquitlam Saints Junior 'A' Lacrosse club. He has volunteered extensively in local sports.
FINANCE INPUT
The city of Port Coquitlam is asking the public to weigh-in on its 2012-2016 financial plan, giving local residents an opportunity to tell the city how they want their tax dollars spent.
A public consultation meeting will be held next week, which will help city staff set the preliminary direction for city services, projects, programs and rates for the next five years. Copies of the financial plan will be included in the July 14 finance and intergovernmental committee (FIG) agenda package, which will be available for pickup at city hall (2580 Shaughnessy St.) on July 12 or for viewing on the city's website at www.portcoquitlam.ca/getinvolved.
The meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 14 at city hall (third floor, heritage room across from council chambers) as part of the regularly scheduled FIG committee meeting.
