MEMO
TO: Brian Heckendorf, Village President; Village Board of Trustees
FROM: Jen Heidtke, Village Administrator; Aaron Swaney, Fire Chief
RE: County-Wide EMS Discussion
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
Background
In 2024 Washington County commissioned a study of municipal Fire and EMS
Services with intention of identifying areas in which service could be provided more
efficiently or ways to address rising call volume paired with decreased volunteerism.
Washington County selected Health Care Strategists to review Fire and EMS
operations in Washington County and published their findings in 2025. A task force
comprised of municipal Fire and EMS personnel was assembled to identify ways to
address the areas of need outlined in the publication from Health Care Strategists.
Since that time, Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann and municipal
Fire/EMS Chiefs, Administrators, and Chief Elected Officials have met to discuss the
potential creation of a County EMS system. In those respective groups, many
advantages and disadvantages to such a system have been discussed. A non-exhaustive
list of pros and cons has been included below.
Advantages to a County EMS System:
- Ability to fund current operational needs and expanded future needs by shifting
taxing authority for EMS services from municipalities to Washington County,
further avoiding the need for community to go to referendum to exceed levy
limits.
- Avoiding any further changes to contracts between City and Village Fire
Departments and neighboring Towns.
Disadvantages or Unknowns to County EMS System:
- Governance of such a system likely leads to less Village control over budget
approval and yielding budgetary control to a county-wide governing board
tasked with approving or denying future budgetary requests of municipal Fire
Departments.
- Uncertainty current political support for County EMS levy for expanded EMS
services will continue into the future.
- Absence of County support for municipalities to tax for the amount of levy
transitioned to the County for EMS Services.
- Uncertainty the County EMS System will be successfully created if there is not
unanimous participation from every Town, Village, and City.

Additional information on this topic is included in the attached presentation with
content Administrators provided Chief Elected Officials in December. Staff hope to
collect additional questions or comments from the Village Board during discussion
and follow up with more information in February.
Potential Motion:
Directing Staff to prepare a resolution acknowledging the Village of Jackson’s
participation in the pursuit of a County EMS system.

County
Page 5 of 80
Problem:
• Most communities are struggling to
match the growing need for EMS/Fire
services with qualified staffing levels.
Page 6 of 80
Problem:
• Adding Staff while keeping communities under
state-imposed levy limits is becoming impossible.
Page 7 of 80
Problem:
• Levy Limits restrict a community in increasing
overall operational levy by Net New Construction
(NNC) which is averaging just 1.7% for
communities in Washington Co.
• Cost of living meanwhile, has averaged 3.6% over
that same time (2018-2025).

Page 9 of 80
Problem:
• With no way to increase staffing to match growing needs,
response times will increase putting citizens in danger.

Solution
County-wide Levy for
Fire/EMS Services
Page 11 of 80
What Does This Entail?
Removes levy for
Fire/EMS off local tax bills
and shares that across
County Tax Bill
Provides avenue for future
growth needs for
Fire/EMS within
communities in the future
Provides local
communities ability to
use that levy to do with
what they need most
(safety/police, roads, etc).

What this
proposed
change
DOES
NOT DO…
Does not impact local control of Fire/EMS
Departments
Does not consolidate Fire/EMS Departments
Does not change MABAS agreements
Does not remove/dissolve any Departments
or positions
Does not change the name/patch of any
Department

Have other Counties in Wisconsin Partnered with
Municipalities for Fire/EMS?

This isn’t a temporary issue, think long term
• While some communities have done well with maintaining their level
of service while staying below levy limits through intergovernmental
agreements and private contracts, the numbers show that sustaining
this level will be impossible as costs rise higher than levy limit
restricts.
Page 16 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
Why is this necessary now?
• Increase call volume requires increase in staffing. However, local
municipalities do not have the room under levy limits to address the need.
• Levy Limits are based on a net new construction (NNC) which is slowing,
not increasing. Less NNC results in less revenue to address all local needs
including public safety (Fire/EMS/Police) along with roads, health insurance
increases, etc.
Page 17 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
Why is this necessary now?
• This isn’t just a “Washington County Issue”
Statewide, 29% of the EMS services do not have adequate funding
to operate.
Statewide, 41% of ambulance services reported that they had open
periods in their schedules where they were unavailable to respond
to a single 9-1-1 call.
Statewide, 78% of services reported responding to a call for a
neighboring service due to low staffing, which places their
ambulance(s) out of reach for their own communities.

Page 18 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
Why would the County be doing this?
• The County recognizes that the greatest gap in public safety is primarily in EMS/Fire.
• The County recognizes that they need to get involved to help communities keep pace
with basic needs of public safety.
• Communities cannot address these challenges in isolation, and continuing on the
current path is simply not sustainable. By strengthening collaboration across the County,
we can streamline processes, reduce duplication, and ultimately save money while
better supporting essential public safety services.
Page 19 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
Why should all communities share and support each other in
providing these services?
• Just like other health and human services needs (Aging and Disability Resource Center,
Behavior Health, Children and Families, Economic Support, Health Department),
providing public safety through EMS/Fire is a county basic need, not just local.
• These services have long been coordinated through the MABAS (Mutual Aid Box Alarm
System). Over time, this structure has led to some communities, particularly the larger
villages and cities in our County, carrying a greater share of the cost to provide services.
Page 20 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
How will this be governed?
• As a part of the planning stages of the process, a Governance Board is
proposed to be created which will represent all levels of local
government including towns, villages and cities along with
representation from the County.
Page 21 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
Will a Community Need to Reduce Their Levy?
• Based on the information we have, as this is not a transfer of services,
but merely a transfer of how it is being paid, the Department of
Revenue requirements to reduce levy by the amount on local levy for
that service or equal to what local levy for that service was as of 2013,
would not be enforceable. Instead, that money could be used for
other priorities including public safety and local roads.
Page 22 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
Based on early numbers, some communities will be
supporting other communities, how is this fair?
• Due to MABAS and mutual aid agreements, when it comes to total Fire and EMS
Service, larger communities have been forever carrying the majority of financial
burden to support smaller Fire and EMS in our area. Through this County-wide
levy, those costs will be more equitably distributed. Plus, through continued
collaborations in the future, increasing levels of service becomes more possible
through joint training and the sharing of resources.
Page 23 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked
What if things change at the County level, will this
agreement thus change?
• The proposal is to create a detailed intergovernmental agreement
between all communities and the County which would be in place for
10 years. During this time, the only way something would change
would be by the decision of this Governance Board for the betterment
of all communities.
Page 24 of 80
Questions Commonly Asked…
What else can be accomplished through this effort?
• Can support additional funding for Length of Services Award Program
(LOSAP) to support “POC” recruitment and retention
• Enhanced communication between Departments
• Strategic purchasing opportunities
• Unified Medical Direction opportunities
• Sharing of equipment/supplies
• Overall cost savings to residents
Page 25 of 80
What Are The
Next Steps?
Work with County and Municipal Partners to Draft the framework an
IGA for each community to consider by their respective
boards/councils.
Next, we would work to identify procedural or administrative tasks of
this funding mechanism which need to be accomplished. For
example, the creation of the ‘Governance Board’
which would oversee this IGA.
Through continuous discussions we hope to have a Draft Resolution
before all communities which would state that everyone is willing to
continue to discuss this proposal. This Draft Resolution would
come before boards/councils in the month of January.

Agenda Item #5 -
Presentation and Possible
Action – Eagle Scout Project
Hayden recently contacted the Parks and Recreation Department with a proposal to partner with
the Village of Jackson to introduce a new recreational amenity in the community. Gaga Ball has
become a popular activity in many neighboring municipalities—including Cedarburg, Hartford,
and West Bend—and is widely enjoyed in youth programs, summer camps, and school settings.
Hayden identified that Jackson currently does not offer this amenity and has proposed
constructing a Gaga Ball Pit in Hickory Lane Park as his Eagle Scout community service project.
Hayden has worked closely with the Parks and Recreation Director and the Director of Public
Works to evaluate construction options and potential locations. These recommendations will be
outlined in his project presentation. His proposal includes fundraising, construction, and
installation of the Gaga Ball Pit.
After reviewing several alternatives, Hayden and staff agree that the most suitable location is
Hickory Lane Park. The installation would replace one of the two existing sand volleyball courts
located near the playground and pavilion, maintaining park accessibility and enhancing youth
recreation opportunities.
Hayden is recommending a design featuring pressure-treated wood walls and a composite decking
floor to ensure durability and minimize long-term maintenance. The estimated project cost is
approximately $5,000, which Hayden plans to fully fundraise as part of his Eagle Scout
requirement.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Hayden’s Eagle Scout project to fundraise for and install a Gaga Ball
Pit in Hickory Lane Park. If approved, Hayden would present his project to the Village Board for
final approval.

Eagle Scout Project Proposal:
What is GaGa Ball?
•● To Build a GaGa ball pit at Hickory Park in Jackson
•
•
Intro
Why I choose this as my project
● Playing GaGa ball was an activity I enjoyed in Scouting
● Jackson does not have a GaGa ball pit
● GaGa Ball is a game kids of all ages can play
● Groups at the Community Center such as the Boys and Girls Club will
be able to use it
● Will provide enjoyment for the community for years to come
● GaGa Ball is a high-energy, safer variant of dodgeball where players
use a ball to tag opponents below the knees.
● The game is played in an octagon (pit) to force continuous action,
keep the ball in play at all times, and allow players to strategically
use the walls for dodging and bouncing the ball.
