The Milton Joint Fire Commission heard status updates Wednesday on the ongoing talks between various municipal governments about the future of fire and emergency services coverage in the city and town of Milton.
Lynda Clark, a member of the Milton City Council and a fire commission member, said the city is waiting on a Wisconsin Policy Forum analysis of the cityâs options for fire and EMS coverage, including analysis of a merger with the city of Janesville and of a stand-alone city of Milton fire department.
If the city of Milton were to pursue a contract for services with the city of Janesville, it would include just those two governments, leaving out the town of Milton.
MILTON
The future of the Milton Fire Department is a popular topic among Milton City Council incumbents who are seeking reelection this spring.
Three council seats and Mayor Anissa Welchâs seat are up for grabs in April. Candidates had until 5 p.m. Tuesday to file paperwork indicating their intent to seek office.
As of 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, four incumbents had filed nomination papers. No one else had returned them.
Council members Theresa Rusch, Larry Laehn and Bill Wilson all hope to earn another term on the council. Welch aims to win another term as mayor.
Rusch said she wanted to see a few issues through to the end, such as the fire department, which has been understaffed for years and currently has a shared-services agreement with Janesville. Rusch has served for several years on the Joint Fire Commission, which is exploring whether the Milton department should consolidate with Janesville or remain independent.
