Video: Second EMS Ordinance Hearing

Following a highly contentious public hearing last week, the board of commissioners scrapped an EMS ordinance in the wake of fierce public opposition. The meeting was scheduled as a second hearing for the initial ordinance. However, the board of commissioners presented a new ordinance on the August 28th meeting. As such, since this was the first presentation of a new ordinance, the county is required to another public hearing. Commission Chair Bill Simonds, however, did not say when the remaining hearing will be held.

See the video of the August 28th public hearing below.
