Madison, Gallatin officials update interjurisdictional disaster and emergency services agreement
Summary
Madison County and Gallatin County officials briefed commissioners on an interjurisdictional disaster and emergency services agreement covering Big Sky initiatives, planning projects, community engagement, community services and incident support; the item was informational with no formal vote.
Members of Madison and Gallatin counties gave the Madison County Board of Commissioners an update on an interjurisdictional agreement to coordinate disaster and emergency services across the two counties.
Joe Brummell, representing Madison County Department of Emergency Services (DES), joined Gallatin County Commissioner Jennifer Boyer and Patrick Lonergan of Gallatin County Emergency Management to outline the agreement’s current activities, which they said include the Big Sky initiatives, various planning projects, community engagement efforts, community service coordination and incident support arrangements. According to the minutes, the discussion focused on how the agreement structures cross-county support rather than proposing changes to county code or funding during the session.
Commissioners Duke W. Gilman, Ron E. Nye and William A. Todd asked clarifying questions during the presentation. The minutes do not show a formal vote or directive to change the agreement; the item was recorded as an informational update. The counties are continuing coordination and planning as described by DES and Gallatin County representatives.
