July 19, 2013 • Milwaukee Post • 7 Municipal officials request details on county's revamped EMS program By DAVE FIDLIN Special to The Post MILWAUKEE – With more than half of the year now over, several municipal officials recently expressed interest in learning how the county's revamped emergency medical services program has been functioning. At a meeting of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Council of Milwaukee County last week, South Milwaukee Mayor Tom Zepecki requested an update that was echoed by other officials. The 19 mayors and village presidents across the county sit on the ICC. "We need the commitment from the county Zepecki said of funding EMS ," beyond the 2013 budget cycle. "We don't want to get into a war every year." Zepecki's comments were based on an oft-contentious, yearlong discussion in 2012 about the future of EMS and how the program should be funded. In the end, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele and the County Board came to terms on an agreement that stipulates the county will allocate $2 million annually toward EMS and paramedic services over a four-year period of time. While bringing up the issue during a round-table discussion last week, Zepecki said he would like continued assurances from the county on the commitment. County Supervisor Peggy Romo West was in the audience at last week's ICC meeting. West sits on the County Board's Finance, Personnel and Audit Committee and also chairs the Health and Human Needs Committee. Both subgroups were involved in the EMS issue last year. "We'll do what we can," West said of offering funding support in the years ahead. Abele is in the process of crafting a preliminary draft of the county's 2014 budget. It will be unveiled in September before the County Board begins its line item-by-line item review of the document. Prior to the county's long-term commitment, EMS funding came into question amid budgetary constraints. While the $2 million annual contribution from the county is less than what had been offered at one point, many ICC members late last year expressed pleasure in the ongoing relationship with the county for the service. There are a number of provisions in the four-year agreement, including a call on nine of the 19 municipalities to serve as host communities for the EMS and paramedic services program. Each of the nine host communities has adopted individual contracts with the county and the remaining 10 non-host communi, ties are served through intergovernmental cooperation agreements. In othter business, the ICC: ■ Discussed the elected body's role in light of recent changes to Chapter 59 of the Wisconsin State Statutes. The ICC last week discussed its relationship with the county and how certain policy matters should be handled. Further discussion is anticipated at future ICC meetings. ■ Continued a discussion of future election costs between municipalities and the county The specific amount each entity . pays into ballot printing and related infrastructure has been under review for about a year. ■ Agreed to give Milwaukee authority to be the municipal agency responsible for posting information on the ICC. Through its main website, www.city .milwaukee.gov, the city will post agendas, meeting minutes and related information. "We're happy to serve as the host," Mayor Tom Barrett said. "I just think it would make sense. We're ready to go." ■ Heard a report from Hales Corners Village President Robert Ruesch on the fireworks error during Fourth of July festivities that resulted in a Bartolotta worker sustaining injuries and the show being abruptly halted. "This was an unfortunate incident, but it could've been much worse," Ruesch said. "Fireworks are very dangerous." Hales Corners' fireworks display has been rescheduled for the village's National Night Out celebration Aug. 6. "We look forward to doing it the right way Ruesch said ," of the upcoming show.
