Ada County expands emergency communication committee membership to include three fire districts

The Ada County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 3158 on Dec. 23 to update the voting membership of the countys emergency communication planning committee. Staff said the change separates out representation so Mid‑Star, Kuna and Eagle fire districts each have individual seats on the committee rather than being represented jointly by Eagle.

County officials explained the committee initially was small and some smaller fire districts were represented by Eagle; as those districts have grown, staff recommended and the board approved separate membership for each district so they may participate directly in emergency planning decisions. The board opened and closed a public hearing on the resolution and approved it by voice vote.
