Ottawa County approves emergency-light exemptions for two Bennington first responders
Summary
The commission passed Resolution 25-11 allowing two named Bennington responders to use emergency lights on personal vehicles at scenes or while parked, contingent on annual proof of insurance; motion passed 3-0.
County Attorney Jeff Ebel presented Resolution 25-11, which would permit two named individuals—Brian Breese of the Bennington Fire Department and Anthony Swetson of Bennington EMS—to use emergency lights on their personal vehicles while parked or while at the scene of an emergency, provided they submit proof of insurance annually. The commission approved the resolution in a 3-0 vote.
The resolution explicitly limits the authorization to the two named individuals and requires annual proof of insurance; the minutes record no additional policy changes beyond the exception granted in the resolution.
