Please let us know how the vote goes, because some of the choices would either end the Mutual Aid agreement we have with them on the EMS and in at least one option the Fire side, or at the very least affect it;, and one or more of the options may very well affect how or if they call us for Mutual Aid for EMS.  Thank you for giving us a heads-up.

How does this affect your organization?  What preparation needs to be done in advance?  Is this a negative or a positive?
