The Tuesday, December 22, 2020 FC Commissioners meeting contained a short discussion of an EMS plan for the county.

County Administrator Vond Hall explained, “This draft plan includes the consideration of a replacement levy that will produce $4.5 million as well as the creation of a “County Central Station” for Dover TWP and additional mutual aid for the northern entities.”

Commissioner Bill Rufenacht stated that he would like to see the draft “drilled down to explain the staffing requirements for the proposed funds a little more defined.”

Commissioner Jon Rupp agreed and added that he would like to see “something specific for the Central Station staffing as well.” He continued that the outline needs definition and said that he wonders if after that it could be sent to the entities involved.

Mr. Hall suggested that this might leave too much open for interpretation and will hinder discussion process, so his thoughts were to discuss it at the time of introduction. Commissioner Jeff Rupp stated that, with the pandemic, having a large gathering to discuss it is not a good idea.

Mr. Hall suggested bringing it back for further discussion after Christmas and Jon Rupp added that individual entity meetings are for the best since there will be individual contracts involved. It was agreed that there needs to be further discussion.
