DYER â After nearly six years, Town Manager Tom DeGiulio is bidding farewell to the town of Dyer.Â
During a special Dyer Town Council meeting Tuesday, a motion failed for the town to enter a consulting agreement with DeGiulio, who began serving as the interim town manager in 2016.Â
DeGiulio s time as Dyer Town Manager was supposed to last six months while the town searched for someone for the role, but then we decided we had a bit more stuff to do than that, he said. We got a lot done. We were asked to accelerate capital projects and improvements, and we ve done that, DeGiulio said. We ve probably done more in the last 5 1/2 years than they ve done in the previous 20. And we ve got more plans on the books that ll still get done.
DYER â Twenty-five years to the day he committed to serve and protect the community, Dyer Police Chief David Hein made his final 10-42 sign-off radio call.Â
Clad in sunglasses due to allergies, Hein held back tears as he signed off for the last time in front of dozens at Dyer Fire Station No. 1 Monday.Â
As the dispatcher on the other end responded, Hein cried. Chief Hein, you have been a wonderful, hardworking chief, an inspiring mentor and a great friend over the years, the dispatcher said. From myself and all of the dispatchers here, we as well wish you a happy retirement and good luck on your future endeavors. 122, you are now officially 10-42 from the Dyer Police Department. Â
