Ewww I would never want fire chiefs elected. Also you're just wrong in basically every assumption you make about how decisions get made.

I think some people believe we should live in some sort of Athenian democracy where we vote on everything and anything and who has the fucking time?

If your guy feels like showing up to those meetings they are an extremely rare exception. There is no rule that they be present, they just must feel like voicing their opinion.

They're at pretty much every meeting, if so much as a speed bump comes up it's vetoed
