After receiving an updated budget allocation from the Cross Plains Area EMS District and learning that a vacancy-rate calculation materially changed the village’s assessed share, trustees authorized the village president to notify the EMS district of intent to withdraw if the other participating municipalities did not vote to extend a requested deadline.

Staff briefed the board on recent budget work and a correction that reduced the village’s increase from about $18,000 to approximately $9,500 because the district had used a vacancy-rate figure that materially differed across jurisdictions. Village leaders said some other district members had already agreed to extend the deadline; one town had not and had scheduled reconsideration. Because a December 1 deadline for district business approaches, trustees voted to give the village president authorization to send a withdrawal notice if the municipality that had not extended the deadline did not change course. The authorization is explicitly contingent on whether other municipalities extend the deadline; trustees asked staff to notify them immediately if the situation changes.
