Mayor floats stipend program for Pittman Center firefighters; county signals debt would be cleared before any merger
Summary
Mayor Larry Waters raised a possible stipend program to support Pittman Center personnel, and Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter said any PCVFD debt would be paid off before a merger with Sevier County. No figures or implementation timeline were provided during the July 23 meeting.
Mayor Larry Waters told the Emergency Services Committee on July 23 that a stipend program in collaboration with the town of Pittman Center could be one way to support local firefighters. The remark was offered during a broader presentation on PCVFD operations and merger options.
Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter added that if Sevier County were to merge with PCVFD, any debt owed by PCVFD would be paid off before the merger was completed, noting that previous mergers followed that practice. The committee did not discuss specific dollar amounts, eligibility criteria, or a timetable for any stipend program during the meeting.
