Minutes say Rescue Board may be removed from district agreement; EMS contracts deemed sufficient

Nov 19, 2025

The minutes state the Rescue Board — created to provide employee oversight as BARS moved to hybrid staffing — can be removed from the current District agreement because participating municipalities already have EMS contracts with the District; municipalities may terminate involvement by written notice.

The full story

The minutes record discussion and a determination regarding the Rescue Board's role in district governance. The minutes state that the Rescue Board was originally created to provide employee oversight during BARS' transition to a hybrid staffing model and to ensure participating municipalities had input. It records that "by default, the Town of Brigham and Village of Barneveld have members appointed to the Rescue Board" and that current participating municipalities include the Town of Ridgeway and Village of Ridgeway.
