Board Member Reports: County Commissioners Meeting Summarized by Mary Esther. Meeting consisted of chairpersons of surrounding special service districts and Dean Cox. The general feel of the meeting was that the county feels consolidating the special service districts is in its best interest. Board members felt it would be in the best interest of PV to maintain its financial independence and ownership of the facility and equipment. Other chairpersons would like to see the outcome of the feasibility study prior to making a final decision. Hurricane Valley consolidated, and the county indicated that all parties involved were satisfied. Dean Cox is on that board as well. Would PV have a significant tax increase if we consolidated and had to employ fire fighters/EMTs?
PV will need to make a decision once the feasibility study is complete.
