Board asks Town of Burkeville to resolve objections on boundary adjustment; reviews proposed Fire Department MOU
Summary
The Board asked the Town of Burkeville to work with residents (the Wilsons) on a boundary line adjustment and discussed but did not act on a proposed MOU that would route county funds through the town for Burkeville Fire payroll and benefits; Finance review was requested before any mid‑cycle funding changes.
Administrator Bowen reported the Town of Burkeville held a public hearing on a boundary line adjustment but that the Wilson family objected to being included; the Board asked the Town to reach agreement with the Wilsons and adjust the map before bringing the item back for the county's required public hearing.
On a related local matter, Bowen presented a proposed Memorandum of Understanding from the Burkeville Fire Department that would have county funds routed through the Town of Burkeville for payroll and benefits while the Fire Department retains operational control. Chief Welch suggested two‑signature safeguards on checks and quarterly reviews. Supervisor Norton said the Finance Department should review the mid‑budget proposal; no action was taken at the meeting.
