Sevier County commissioners vote to forward ESN coverage changes aimed at reducing response times
Summary
The Emergency Services Committee voted unanimously to accept recommended alterations to ESN coverage areas and send them to the Sevier County Board of Commissioners for final approval; the change is intended to reduce emergency response times in remote unincorporated areas.
Sevier County’s Emergency Services Committee voted March 7 to accept recommended alterations to emergency-service-number (ESN) coverage and forward the changes to the full Sevier County Board of Commissioners for approval. The committee’s motion passed unanimously.
Chief David Puckett of the Department of Fire Prevention and Response told the committee that the proposed ESN alterations were developed and discussed with the Fire and EMS agencies affected and that the changes are intended to reduce response times for some remote areas of the county’s unincorporated territory. The committee did not record specific new boundary lines or response-time metrics in the segment of the transcript that records the motion.
Commissioner Michael Maddron made the motion to accept the recommendations and send them to the Board; Commissioner Ray Ogle seconded. The transcript records that the motion carried unanimously; no roll-call vote tally with individual yes/no votes is provided in the minutes excerpt.
The committee’s action sends the proposal to the full Sevier County Board of Commissioners for consideration and final adoption. The committee did not set a date for the Board vote during the recorded remarks, and no budget or implementation timeline for the ESN alterations was specified in the reported segment.
