Mayor Denny Bowman's family continues serving the City of Covington as Tuesday night his nephew Joseph Bowman was among sixteen members of the fire department promoted. "Twenty years from now when he retires, he's gonna run for mayor," Bowman joked.

Here's a list of the fire department personnel approved unanimously by the city commission to their new positions:

Brian Bamberger, 19 years of service to Cov. FD, to Assistant Chief
Ronald Stolz, 22 years, to Battalion Chief
Wayne Keller, 15 years, to Captain
Scott McVey, 18 years, to Captain
Tara Lytle, 10 years, to Lieutenant/Paramedic
Mike Lee, 7 years, to Lieutenant
Marty Disibio, 18 years, to Lieutenant/Paramedic
Chuck Spenlau, 21 years, to Lieutenant
Chris Alsip, 7 years, to Lieutenant/Paramedic
Dave Geiger, 12 years, to Lieutenant/Paramedic
Josh Campbell, 6 years, to Lieutenant/Paramedic
John Hofstetter, 10 years, to Lieutenant
Chris Vogelpohl, 7 years, to Lieutenant/Paramedic
Craig Vogelpohl, 6 years, to Engineer
Douglas Veselsky, 6 years, to Engineer/Paramedic
Joseph Bowman, 6 years, to Engineer

The commission also accepted the resignation of police officer Joshua Johnson who served a little more than a year after arriving from Ashland, KY. Approved unanimously to fill an officer position with the department was Douglas Ullrich, a 2003 Elder High School and Xavier University graduate who previously served in law enforcement in Valdez, Alaska. Lt. Col. Spike Jones joked that Ullrich said in the interview that if the City were faced with grizzly or polar bears, that Ullrich is the go-to guy.

Andrew Juengling found himself as the subject of three items on the commission's agenda: 1) accepting his resignation as co-op in Community Development, 2) approving his new role as full-time zoning specialist in the same department, and 3) appointing him to an unexpired term on the parking violation hearing board.
