Supervisor H. Joseph Easter raised questions about implementation of recommendations from the county's Fire & EMS study, specifically whether the budget includes funding for an interim Fire Chief. County Administrator Eric S. Pollitt told the board that funding could be accommodated within the Fire & EMS budget through anticipated personnel savings and existing contingency funds if the board chose to pursue that recommendation.
Pollitt emphasized that the timing and structure of implementation would depend on Board direction and offered Local Solutions as an available consultant to assist with next steps. By consensus the Board expressed a desire to receive additional information and a proposed implementation plan based on the study recommendations; no formal action or appropriation was taken at the work session.
