Alpena County to share emergency manager with Montmorency County to realize cost savings
Summary
The committee approved moving forward with a negotiated arrangement to merge emergency-management oversight and hire one Emergency Manager to serve both Alpena and Montmorency counties; Alpena’s current Emergency Manager would shift to full-time 911 duties funded from the 911 budget.
County Administrator Jesse Osmer reported several months of negotiations with Montmorency County to merge emergency-management oversight and hire one Emergency Manager to serve both counties. Osmer said the current Alpena Emergency Manager would move full time to 911 and that funds in the 911 budget would cover that role, producing a cost savings to Alpena County as presented.
Commissioner William LaHaie moved to proceed with filling the Emergency Management position with Montmorency County and Commissioner Bill Peterson supported the motion. The committee approved moving forward.
The minutes do not contain a detailed cost-share formula or an interlocal agreement text; the recommendation authorizes county staff to finalize negotiations and fill the shared position as described.
