PROCEDURAL The meeting was called to order, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, then roll call was taken. All board members were present. It was noted the meeting was properly noticed and posted. NEW BUSINESS a. Discussion regarding the three options the Cambridge Community Fire and EMS Commission (CCFEC) gave for the future of the Commission. Discussion was had 1) whether to stay as is with the Commission and its budget as is, 2) continue with the Fire and make amendments to the IGA so each municipality can find their own services for EMS or, 3) dissolve the Commission and create a fire only IGA. The board spoke to the fact that Oakland is still gone, and the status quo with the Commission and its budget is not sustainable. Staffing requirements, overtime and scheduling options to alleviate overtime the EMS incurs were discussed. The board requested that the interim EMS director work to do all he can to find resources and find people to talk to that could provide ideas to help fix the budget problems. It was realized to move ‘the needle’ the board needs more information to make an educated decision. Reaching out to EMS providers to determine the feasibility and the cost-effectiveness for the town became the consensus. b. Discussion/possible action regarding the CCFEC’s proposed Amendment to the IGA Discussion regarding the amendment was had. It was straightforward and seemed to be a good move. Dawn Redford moved to approve the amendment to the IGA. Steve Kriedeman seconded. Motion Passed 3-0 November 18, 2025, Minutes Page 2 of 2 CONVENE INTO CLOSED SESSION a.
