Commission approves assumption of Thatcher Penrose fire protection and transfer of assets (Agreement 26-33)
Summary
The commission approved Agreement 26-33 to assume fire protection services for the Thatcher Penrose area and accept transfer of assets into county oversight, citing the water district's inability to legally fund fire protection.
County fire staff presented an agreement to bring Thatcher Penrose fire services under county oversight and to accept transfer of assets and responsibilities. Fire staff said the Thatcher area had been overseen by a water department which could not legally fund fire protection and that the county will provide training, equipment and oversight to support the area's fire protection needs.
Commissioner Perry moved to approve Agreement 26-33 to assume fire protection services and transfer assets for Thatcher Penrose; Commissioner Bingham seconded and the commission approved by voice vote.
