Board authorizes letter of support for Southwest Virginia EMS Council; future affiliation options raised
Summary
The board approved a letter of support for the Southwest Virginia EMS Council and discussed possibly affiliating with the Western Virginia EMS Council in future; Greg Fraser was suggested as a potential representative when the current representative’s term ends.
The County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 12 voted to authorize a letter of support for the Southwest Virginia EMS Council’s initiatives for the coming year and discussed future affiliation options.
A board member described the request as “a pretty routine matter” and said the council “assist[s] us with our EMS business” and helps secure funding when available. The board approved a motion to authorize the letter of support; a second was recorded on the meeting record.
Board members said they may explore affiliating with the Western Virginia EMS Council — described as “a little more active” — in future years. One board member asked that when the current representative’s term ends, the board consider appointing Greg Fraser, identified in the meeting as the county EMS chief, as the board’s representative to whichever regional EMS council the county joins.
The motion at the meeting covered only authorization of a letter of support; board members framed the affiliation conversation as a future consideration and not an immediate policy change.
