If all 10 municipalities in the proposed Edgerton Fire Protection District sign the intergovernmental agreement, the new partnership could be affective in February of 2023.
Milton City Administrator Al Hulick says all that remains is for the five current members – Edgerton, Fulton, Porter, Albion, and Sumner to sign the agreement.
The proposed new district could including up to four fire stations with Milton considering a referendum to build a new station at the intersection of Highway 59 and County Highway M.
Another new station may also be considered for Newville near the Interstate.
Hulick says currently discussions are ongoing about how to transfer the staff from Milton’s fire department to the new fire protection district if they choose.
