Commission to consider raising volunteer fire and rescue per diem to $50
Summary
The County Commission will consider Resolution 202506824 next week to raise the per-call per diem for volunteer fire and rescue units from $30 to $50; Budget & Finance says funds have been appropriated for the increase.
The County Commission on Tuesday announced it will consider Resolution 202506824 next Monday to raise the per-call per diem for volunteer fire and volunteer rescue units from $30 to $50.
County officials said the change comes with a favorable recommendation from the Budget & Finance Committee and First Response Services Committee and that the necessary funds have been allocated in the draft budget.
Budget and Finance recommended the increase and told the commission that "if this per diem pay goes from the 30 to the 50 per call, the money has been allocated to the correct line items to cover that," according to a committee representative.
The resolution is listed on page 8 of the commission packet and will be formally considered at the commission's next regular meeting. No formal vote on the resolution was taken during the work session.
If approved, the change would alter the county's payment per volunteer response call; details on effective date or administrative implementation were not specified during the work session.
Commissioners did not debate alternative amounts during the work session; questions raised were limited to confirmation that the budget line items were set aside and that the committee recommendation was favorable.
The commission will take formal action on the resolution at the next regular meeting, when the public will have another opportunity to comment.
