Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance appointing one member to the Fire Control, Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District due to change in council.
Body
Summary:
Since Councilmember Martin is leaving council, his appointee to the Fire Control, Prevention and EMS District expires when his term does. His current appointee is Waylon Gossett.
Incoming Councilmember Ripley wishes to appoint Daniel Lovercheck to serve on the Fire Control District as his appointee as Mr. Gossett does not wish to continue to serve on the board.
This ordinance will appoint Daniel Lovercheck to replace Waylon Gossett as Councilmember Ripley’s appointee. Mr. Lovercheck’s term will expire on Sept 1, 2026, as that is the remainder of Mr. Gossett’s current term.
The State statute (Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District Act) which enables creation of a FCPEMSD also specifies the manner in which appointments to the board of directors are to be made. The statute states that members serve staggered two years terms which expire on September 1.
“In a district for which the governing body of the municipality does not serve as the district's board of directors, the governing body may create a board of directors for which one director is appointed by each member of the governing body to serve at the pleasure of that member for a term not to exceed two years and that expires when the member of the governing body that appointed the director leaves office.”
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
