Commissioner outlines distribution of $10,000 fire/EMS line used for volunteer departments
Summary
A $10,000 line for fire-department expenses has been distributed to volunteer departments in prior years based on EMS runs; commissioners asked for clarity on the FY 2023 payout calculations.
A Commissioner noted a $10,000 entry in the budget for fire-department expenses that has been divided among volunteer fire departments in prior years and asked how that distribution was computed for FY 2023. He pointed to EMS-run counts and said some departments received credit for runs while others did not.
The discussion reviewed which volunteer departments had historically received the supplemental payments and whether the payment should continue to be applied from the fund cited in past years. No formal change was adopted at this session; Commissioners asked staff to confirm the distribution methodology and historic payment source for the $10,000 line.
