A Wellborn Delegation attended the Suwannee County Commission meeting workshop Wednesday to make sure the 5 commissioners know that we think now is the time to establish professional Fire/Rescue station in our area. It would be fully equipped ,ambulance and fire truck, and staffed 24/7. We were favorably impressed with the work Suwannee County Fire Chief Charlie Conner did to prepare for this workshop which had been requested when Commissioner Oxendines motion died at a previous Commission meeting for lack of a second. Two County Fire Dept staffers flipped maps, large enough for the audience to see easily. These were graphic representation of the number of calls for service from several sites under consideration. Each Commissioner had a personal copy. Wellborn citizens Wendell Snowden, Pasco Jarvis, Williams, Cathy Nobles, Pat Bezaire, Lundy Brown spoke supporting our District 4 Commissioner Phil Oxendine statements. My reading of where this issue is at is 3 Commissioners favorable and 2 not. The vote will be at October 18 County Commission meeting.
Excellent coverage IN DETAIL of this meeting was written in the Friday edition by Suwannee Democrat reporter Misty Ward , under the headline COUNTY MULLS WELLBORN FIRE/RESCUE.
