Watch Jefferson CountyGOVERNOR to Visit County
Governor Joe Manchin will be at Independent Fire Company on Friday, April 25, 2008 at 11:15a.m. for a ceremonial signing of SB224 into law.
The public is encouraged to attend. SB224 gives Jefferson County the authority to create
a joint emergency services agency.
In lieu of creating both an emergency ambulance service authority and a separate county fire association or county fire board, the County Commission of Jefferson County may enact an ordinance creating a combined joint emergency services agency to provide emergency services and emergency response services.
The agency shall possess all of the rights and responsibilities conferred upon emergency ambulance service authorities, county fire associations and county fire boards that are not otherwise inconsistent with state law.
Everyone is encouraged to attend and I hope to see you there!
