Committee to form ad hoc group to study long-term funding collection, members to be nominated next month
Summary
The Emergency Services Committee discussed forming an ad hoc committee to study how long-term funding for county departments will be collected, including references to a digital referendum bill that the committee expects to route to the state.
The Emergency Services Committee agreed to form an ad hoc committee to study how the county will collect long-term funding for emergency services across the county and to return with recommendations on membership and approach.
The committee chair (identified in the transcript as Mr. Sohn) said the ad hoc group will consider whether funding collection must be approved by county commissioners, citizens, or some mix. He said: “I’m not gonna be the 1 that's gonna make all the decisions. We have a committee that's before us, and I'll ask for recommendations from the committee.”
A committee member suggested including volunteer fire department captains and citizen representatives. The chair said nominations will be accepted and the committee will be announced next month and added to future meeting agendas as old business.
The transcript includes a reference to a “bill of the digital referendum” that the chair said had been passed on to the state; the chair stated he would double-check that status. The meeting did not enact funding changes; the ad hoc committee’s formation is for study and recommendation only.
