9-1-1 board to reorganize representation; Bedford gets $950,000 legislative directive for new fire station
Summary
Commissioners reported the 9-1-1 board plans to drop defunct AMSA and add three seats including a fire chiefs council representative; separately, Bedford Township secured $950,000 in legislative directive funding toward a new village fire station.
A commissioner reported that the county27s 9-1-1 board will move forward with reorganizing representation after AMSA ceased operations, dropping AMSA from membership and adding three new representatives: a fire chiefs council designee, a medical-control ambulance representative, and a representative from the City of Springfield. The change will be voted on at the board27s September meeting and interlocal agreements will follow.
Separately, a commissioner said Bedford Township27s demolition project was completed through coordination of the land bank and 9-1-1 funds and that Bedford was awarded $950,000 in legislative-directive funding through Representative Frisbie27s office toward a new village fire station. County staff praised collaboration between township, county and state offices.
The reports were presented during commissioner updates; no board action was necessary at this meeting on those matters.
