So, which municipality is going to take the next step?
The Wisconsin Policy Forum and Center for Government Research presented a report on Wednesday to elected officials from east of Interstate 94 that included different options to provide more efficient services in the area of fire and EMS, and parks and recreation.
Officials from the City of Racine, and villages of Mount Pleasant, Caledonia and Sturtevant are all in agreement that some changes should be made, but finding a consensus on what needs to change is a difficult question to answer.
In the area of fire and EMS, some of the suggestions include having the nearest unit respond to emergencies, consolidating training opportunities and merging two or three departments. Many of the suggestions included in the report have been proposed in the past.
