Chairman says draft interlocal agreement and name change discussions underway; internet redundancy discussed after dispatch outage
Summary
The chairman reported progress on drafting an interlocal agreement and floating a future name change pending legal review; the board also discussed recent dispatch connectivity work and the need for redundancy after a cut to Frontier fiber prompted a shift to county fiber managed by Anthem.
The chairman reported that he and Ray met with John Carr and that Carr “is on board with us having an interlocal agreement” and supportive of a proposed name change, but that the name change would require legal work and more time to finalize. The chairman said he is drafting an initial interlocal agreement to circulate to the county and the local fire district for review before it returns to the County Commissioners and the Fire Board for approval.
The board also discussed a recent dispatch connectivity issue. Ray said dispatch was disconnected from an old Frontier fiber line and was reconnected to county fiber service provided through Anthem. Ray said that change made the immediate problem less critical but that the district and partners “want redundancy, not just a single point of contact.” The board agreed to work with county staff and contractors to clarify redundancy needs and the terms of any contract or interlocal arrangement.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on the interlocal agreement or name change; the chairman described current steps as drafting and circulation for review. The discussion was presented as ongoing direction rather than a final board action.
