EMS director presents building survey; commissioner raises concern about closed EMS board meetings
Summary
EMS Director Terry Clugston provided a property survey for a proposed EMS building location; Commissioner Myra Carlisle Frazier said she was concerned recent EMS board meetings were closed to the public and Clugston said he would take the concern to his board.
EMS Director Terry Clugston presented the board with a property survey showing a proposed site for an EMS facility. The minutes record the survey as part of the Aug. 18 staff updates; no parcel address or purchase terms are included in the public minutes.
Commissioner Chair Myra Carlisle Frazier expressed concern that the EMS Board meetings had been closed to the public. Director Clugston responded that he would convey the commissioner’s concern to the EMS Board; the minutes show no further public discussion or formal direction from the county commissioners.
Why it matters: the siting and governance of emergency medical services affect response times and public oversight. The commissioner’s concern about closed EMS Board meetings raises transparency and public-access questions that may prompt the EMS Board to revisit meeting procedures.
Next steps: Director Clugston will relay the concern to the EMS Board and any resulting action would be reported back to the county commission in a future meeting.
