Commissioner urges consulting lobbyist on emergency-services private-act tax; vice mayor says lobbyist reviewing requests
Summary
Commissioner Jack Parton asked that the county consult its lobbyist about options for an emergency-services private-act tax and requested a report back by the August meeting; Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter said the lobbyist is reviewing the Committee’s requests.
Commissioner Jack Parton proposed that the County discuss solutions for an emergency-services private-act tax with the county’s lobbyist and asked the Lobbyist Committee to report back to the Emergency Services Committee by the August meeting. The request was made during discussion of fire/rescue next steps following the Committee’s approval of a merger with the Northview/Kodak Volunteer Fire Department.
Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter updated the Committee on the county’s engagement with the lobbyist, saying, "Mr. Baisley is still reviewing the Committee’s requests and will be meeting with the Committee soon." No formal motion was recorded to authorize specific lobbying actions; the transcript records Parton's proposal as a direction to pursue further discussion. The Committee adjourned at 2:59 PM following a motion to adjourn by Commissioner Aaron Foster, seconded by Commissioner Mike Hillard.
