Mountrail County requires LEPC training for fire and ambulance funding
Summary
The Mountrail County Commission voted unanimously to require Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) trainings for fire and ambulance departments to receive county funding from the General Fund Fire & Ambulance Budget.
The Mountrail County Commissioners voted April 1 to require Local Emergency Planning Committee trainings for fire and ambulance departments as a condition of receiving county funding under the General Fund Fire & Ambulance Budget. The motion was moved by Commissioner John DeGroot and seconded by Commissioner Jason Rice; the board recorded a unanimous roll-call vote in favor.
Commissioner DeGroot described the requirement as a condition for funding distribution; Commissioner Hollekim later asked whether ARPA-purchased equipment had restrictions that could affect departments' ability to upgrade or repurpose assets. State’s Attorney Wade Enget said he would review ARPA guidance and report back to the board. The policy will be effective for future funding cycles administered from the General Fund Fire & Ambulance Budget.
