Montour board backs Odessa Fire Department's effort to form joint fire district
Summary
The Town of Montour Board voted 4-0 to support the Odessa Fire Department's effort to form a joint fire district, a nonbinding municipal endorsement to help the department decide whether to pursue district formation.
The Town of Montour Board voted to support the Odessa Fire Department's effort to form a joint fire district. On a motion from Councilperson Breana Yessman, seconded by Councilperson Brian Stamp, the board adopted Resolution #33 by a 4-0 vote.
Supervisor David Scott said the board's endorsement is intended to give the Odessa Fire Department guidance on whether pursuing a district is worthwhile; the resolution does not itself create a district. The formal motion (Resolution #33) passed with four ayes and no noes. Councilperson Yessman moved the resolution and Councilperson Stamp seconded it.
The next steps were not specified during the meeting: the department would need to follow statutory processes and receive approvals separate from this municipal support. The board did not record a timetable for final votes or refer the matter to any particular committee.
