Page 2 22 M~~ 0 11.01. Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 17, 1996 David Goldsmith presented the Board with four options: 1) Do nothing as a County. Have each Fire District go to their voters and ask for the extra funding for the service. Give everyone in the County a chance to vote on the service on the ballot. Have each Fire District decide if they want it on the ballot, district by district. Designate a subdistrict which would encompass Fire District #1 and Fire District #3, the two largest areas of support. 2) 3) 4) He reported that there are some concerns that need to be addressed at this point. . Who will run the pro~am? The statute requires the fonnation of a Board of Trustees which is made up of the BOCC, the County Auditor, representatives from the EMS Council and the County Clerk. He explained that the County would prefer to have the participating Fire Districts oversee the functions of the EMS District. An ordinance could give the Fire Districts that power. What about the distribution of funds? Most of the Fire Districts in the County levy $ .25 per thousand. If an EMS District is created, the Fire District's money would go into the EMS Fund. An ordinance could specify that the initial 25 cents will be returned to the individual Fire Districts for Basic Life Support and the additional funds would then go to the EMS District. . David Goldsmith then explained that the next step in the process is to create a draft ordinance that derIDes the EMS District boundary; derIDes the role of the Board of Trustees and the Fire Districts; and outlines the funding disbursement. A public hearing is required on an ordinance. The final ordinance must be approved by the Board of Commissioners before August Z in order for the levy to be on the ballot in September. The Fire Districts that support the EMS District prefer to have the County's efforts on the ballot in September. If the County's efforts fail in the Primary, each Fire District would still have the opportunity to take the levy to their voters on the November ballot. The Board concurred that people don't want another level of bureaucracy. Some of the Fire Commissioners may be reacting before they have all the infonnation. After discussing several of the issues, the Board directed David Goldsmith to put together a draft ordinance for all the Fire Commissioners to review. The short time line will require a prompt response from them. After the Fire Commissioners' comments have been received, the Board will decide the next course of action to take. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT BUSINESS Discussion re: East Price Street: Commissioner Hinton asked Public Works Director Klara Fabry to update the Board on this project. She stated that the applicant has been sent a letter regarding the concerns of the Engineering Department after a site inspection last week. Later in the Discussion: Following a comment from a citizen, the Board asked Klara Fabry to determine whether the road meets the County's private road construction standards.

The Board said they would review the infonnation and get back to Public Works Department with any questions. A workshop is not necessary.
