Summary

Fennimore EMS told the council it has three potential full‑time staff if municipalities share costs; EMS estimated a $345,000 total need and the council formed an ad hoc committee to pursue regional talks.

Brian Heisz, representing Fennimore EMS, briefed the Common Council on local rescue squad staffing needs Oct. 20 and asked the city to pursue regional cost‑sharing.

Heisz said the agency currently has three people who "are interested currently if full‑time was offered" and estimated "$345,000 was a more accurate overall dollar figure" needed to support the positions; he asked that the amount be split among area municipalities. The council did not adopt a funding commitment at the meeting.

Mayor Ryan Boebel proposed forming an ad hoc committee to discuss the request. The council named Sarah Kretschman, Adam Day and Jeff Hagen to the committee and Heisz said he would provide three EMS representatives to meet with the group.

Council members asked for follow-up and intermunicipal coordination rather than an immediate appropriation; no vote obligating city funds was recorded. Next steps recorded in the minutes call for the ad hoc committee and EMS representatives to meet and report back to the council.
