Thanks
to our Emergency Services Volunteers
 We
take this opportunity to publicly thank the volunteers and
public servants who provide
emergency
services
to our residents. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated
group serving our community.
In
reviewing emergency services the primary issue that emerges is
the threat that an insufficient number
of people will volunteer to adequately staff the fire and ambulance
services. We support the work underway to provide incentives
or tax advantages to benefit community volunteers and encourage
others to participate.
In
light of the possibility that some time in the future emergency
services couldn't be staffed with volunteers, we recommend that
the town
board
request
an
annual update from each
of the
emergency services that reviews the challenges, goals and expectations
for their volunteer service. |
