Town Council approves interlocal agreement for 24/7 EMS services

The Town Council of La Conner, Washington, convened for its second meeting on March 25, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including an interlocal agreement for emergency medical services (EMS) and a fee waiver request for a historic review.

The meeting began with a discussion on an interlocal agreement involving all fire districts and communities in the area. The agreement aims to provide comprehensive EMS services, with the town's obligation to maintain 24/7 licensed aid services. The council noted that this agreement offers some indemnification from other organizations, as multiple fire departments often respond to emergencies simultaneously. After a brief discussion, a resolution to approve the interlocal agreement was proposed and seconded. The council voted unanimously in favor, and the motion carried.

Following the EMS agreement, the council addressed a fee waiver request related to the historic combined review and demolition flat. Details regarding this request were briefly mentioned, but further discussion was anticipated as the council reviewed the submitted materials.

In summary, the meeting effectively progressed through its agenda, with the approval of the EMS interlocal agreement being a significant outcome. The council will continue to evaluate the fee waiver request in future discussions.
