While work continues elsewhere, the Logan County Commissioners have suspended the regular weekly EMS task force meetings as they continue to meet with city officials from Sterling, as well as with commissioners from Morgan and Washington counties.
Work being done continues to center around a couple of ideas: One being the notion of combining the EMS systems in all three counties as a regionalized approach under one organization; and the other is further exploring the interest of the City of Sterling in participating in a fire-based EMS system of some sort.
There are many questions yet to ask and a lot of details to sort out with officials under both proposals, but the commissioners are committed to the strong forward momentum and hope to be better prepared to make sound decisions on a direction in the near future. At that point, the task force can be re-activated to provide the necessary expertise and support as operational plans are built.
In the mean time, if community members or response partners have questions or suggestions for consideration, those can be directed to the Logan County Commissioners office at 970-522-0888.
Once the task force resumes activities, we'll be utilizing this blog heavily again. Until then, we thank you for your interest and for the great exchange of ideas we've had here so far!
