The city of Milton has asked the Wisconsin Policy Forum to evaluate the city’s fire and EMS options and cost-sharing alternatives as the city weighs whether to consolidate fire services with Janesville. The Milton City Council on Wednesday approved a proposal from the organization—a statewide, nonpartisan policy research group—and authorized paying up to $7,650 for the evaluation. The Wisconsin Policy Forum has analyzed fire and EMS delivery challenges for dozens of fire departments in Wisconsin. Its study could begin as soon as April 12, and a written report will be delivered by July 1.
