Butler will have a new firefighter after ongoing driver’s license problems led to the firing of another.

City council on Thursday is set to approve the hiring of Jonathan Feicht as a full-time hoseman.

The move comes as a result of the city firing Chad Grieff due to his continued driver’s license problems.

“I think we’ve been absolutely more than patient with him,” said Councilwoman Kathy Kline.

Grieff originally was suspended in December without pay after he hit a woman on an electric scooter while driving his pickup without a license.

The city found that Grieff had been driving fire trucks without a license for the city for nearly seven months before the accident.

Despite the incident, the city gave him another chance.

“The city determined it would be best to have him go on suspension without pay and be reinstated if he successfully got his driver’s license,” said city solicitor James Coulter. “He did accomplish that. However, his license was subsequently suspended or lost, and therefore his position was terminated.”

Coulter said he was not sure of the exact reason Grieff’s license was lost, but said it was not because of a serious crime like DUI.

A valid driver’s license is a mandatory condition of employment for the city.
