Monroe County Board of Commissioners

The Monroe County Board of Commissioners met on July 31st. Health Administrator Lori Kelley gave an update on the health department, saying that Covid-19 related emergency visits have increased slightly.

Then, the commissioners heard a resolution outlining remonstration for the expansion of the Monroe Fire Protection District. This resolution would add Bean Blossom Township to the county’s fire protection district. According to the agenda, the inclusion of the township into the county’s fire protection district requires a public meeting and a demonstration that Bean Blossom Township residents are supportive. Town Attorney Jeff Cockerill outlined the resolution.

Monroe County Commissioner Julie Thomas asked Cockerill whether the resolution applies to all of Bean Blossom Township. Cockerill responded.

Commissioner Penny Githens asked what the timeline looks like for the project. Bean Blossom Township Representative Ron Hudson responded that it’s unclear at the moment.

Commissioner Githens commented on the expansion of the Monroe Fire Protection District citing previous examples of townships speaking positively of joining.

The commissioners voted unanimously in supporting the resolution. The next Monroe County Board of Commissioners meeting will happen on August 7th.
