This is such great news!
And it only took....two years. Isn't the protracted processes of our city admin and council grand? Remember all the flap in the PI in 2010 over this idea? Good grief, talk about hot embers.
Congratulations to all our area fire guys! You rock.
via the Post Independent:
"The merged fire authority gives the four communities involved shared control of one fire and emergency services agency that will serve the entire area. It would be governed by board members from the four communities. Tax rates are expected to remain at current levels.
In January, a memorandum of understanding was signed by officials with the four fire agencies, and an official steering committee was formed to carry out the recommendations of a consultant's study.
The steering committee includes two representatives from each of the four fire agencies, with a ninth slot filled by Garfield County Commissioner Mike Samson.
On Feb. 4, the steering committee and staff from the fire districts held a workshop to establish the mission, values, purpose, vision and strategic goals of the regional fire authority.
After a full day of discussion, the group agreed on the following mission statement:
“We are dedicated to protect life, home, and property with professional service through leadership, education, and partnerships, with safety as our highest priority.”
Information on the merger is posted on each of the department's websites: www.burningmountainsfire.org, www.glenwoodfire.com, www.riflefiredept.org...." (Read more? Click title)
