Webster board approves county Fire/EMS funding MOU, urges earlier municipal engagement
Summary
The Webster board voted to participate in Jackson County's Fire/EMS Public Safety Service District Tax MOU, approving participation by a 3–1 vote while recording concern about insufficient early collaboration by county officials.
Mayor Leigh Anne Young presented a Memorandum of Understanding for participation in Jackson County's Fire/EMS Public Safety Service District Tax. Commissioners voiced support for adequately funding countywide fire and EMS services but also criticized the lack of early municipal engagement before the county approved the agreement. Commissioner Sara Stahlman moved to approve participation and Commissioner Brandon Core seconded; the motion carried with three votes in favor and one nay.
Board members agreed to review the agreement annually and seek clarifications or amendments as needed. The minutes emphasize the board's request that any public communication accompanying the agreement reflect the town's desire for earlier collaboration and improved intergovernmental communication going forward.
