Chester MRAC reports progress on hiring, audit draft and EMS; no public comments
Summary
At the May 27 MRAC meeting, Receiver Michael Dowry said the city selected an emergency management services provider last week, the receiver's office received a draft 2021 audit (still under review), recruiting continues and EMS services are reported to be operating well; there were no public comments and no committee votes.
Receiver Michael Dowry told the Municipal Financial Recovery Advisory Committee on May 27 that recruiting efforts continue, the city "did just make a selection end of last week, to fill the emergency manager, management services position," and the receiver's office had received a draft of the 2021 city audit that is not yet ready for public release.
Dowry said staff had questions about the draft audit and expected to finish work on it in the coming weeks. He described EMS services as "going well" and thanked city staff and the receiver's team for their work. The transcript provides no further details about the selected emergency manager provider, contract terms or the specific audit questions that remain unresolved.
No public comments were forwarded to the committee for review before the meeting, the chair said. Dowry closed the session by confirming the MRAC will reconvene on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 1:00 p.m.
Next steps: city and receiver staff will continue recruitment efforts, complete follow-up on the 2021 audit draft and monitor EMS operations; no formal motions or votes were recorded at the meeting.
