Commission forms ad hoc committee for long-range fire protection planning
Summary
Roane County commissioners established an ad hoc committee to develop long-range fire protection planning, directing members to meet quickly and to consider budget implications and necessary courses of action.
Roane County commissioners voted May 11 to form an ad hoc committee focused on long-range fire protection planning. Commissioners described the effort as urgently needed and asked the committee — to be formed by the chair — to meet quickly and outline courses of action, including budget implications.
The chair said initial committee meetings should be commissioners-only to draft options and possible COAs (courses of action) before inviting external stakeholders. Several commissioners urged a prompt first meeting and noted that the committee’s work could affect the county budget. The motion to create the ad hoc committee carried; commissioners encouraged moving rapidly to identify opportunities and to report back to the full body.
No membership list was recorded in the portion of the transcript provided; the chair said the committee would be formed under the chair’s direction and would expand membership later if needed.
