Mill Creek: Exiting fire authority talks
The Mill Creek City Council voted earlier this month to exit the talks about forming a regional fire authority in south Snohomish County.
Almost all the cities and fire districts between Everett and the Snohomish-King county line have been meeting to talk about the idea since early 2011.
There’s no timeline for when they might put something on the ballot.
If approved by voters, a fire authority would regionalize fire protection services into one large agency spanning south county.
No other involved agencies have expressed an interest in leaving the talks, officials said.
Mill Creek contracts for fire protection service with Snohomish County Fire District 7, based in Clearview.
The current contract runs through 2016.
