Butler EMS director asks borough for half-mill tax increase or one-time donation
Summary
Jesse Hass, Director of Butler EMS, handed out materials and asked the Connoquenessing council to consider a half-mill tax increase or a one-time donation to support EMS operations; the council took no immediate action on funding at the Sept. 2 meeting.
Jesse Hass, identified in the minutes as Director of Butler EMS, provided council members with folders summarizing visits and operating costs and asked the borough to consider increasing support for the service. Hass said the borough could help either by approving a half-mill tax increase earmarked for EMS funding or by making a one-time donation to the provider.
Council members did not vote on any funding measure at the meeting. The request was recorded on the agenda and will need to be evaluated as part of budget discussions or a future appropriation; no timeline or dollar total beyond the suggested half-mill increase was specified in the minutes.
