Board Schedules Work Session on Emergency-Services Funding; No Votes Taken
Summary
The board set a near-term work session for May 8 to review models from Emergency Services Solution and indicated a possible public hearing May 22 and budget adoption May 29; supervisors did not adopt levies or rates at this meeting.
After public comment, board members described the immediate next steps: a public work session scheduled for May 8 where a vendor called Emergency Services Solution (ESS) will present potential staffing and contract models, a possible public hearing on levy proposals on May 22, and a target budget adoption date of May 29. Board members emphasized they would present numbers publicly before any vote so residents can review proposed levy rates and how levy revenue would be apportioned between fire and EMS.
No levy rates or budget reallocations were approved at the meeting. Several supervisors and staff repeatedly said they are compiling data and referenced a 2021 Virginia Fire Services Board study for the county as part of that work. The board moved and seconded several routine motions during the meeting (agenda approval with changes; opening and closing of public hearings) and adjourned after a motion to 'journ.'
