Cutting costs and maintaining services - those are the two things a Scott County task force has to consider
if and when it decides to merge the city and county fire departments.
The Georgetown Inter-Local Task Force met for the second time Wednesday.
The chief of the Georgetown fire department and the Scott County fire department both explained what it will take to keep both agencies up and running over the next 10 years.
They say, even if they meet minimum staff requirements and adding no new firefighters, it will cost more than $12 million.
Though some think merging the two departments is the solution, it's not the only idea on the table.
When the task force meets again, it will go to fire stations in the county and the city to meet with the rank and file firefighters.
Task force members estimate it will months before they are ready to make a recommendation on the merger.
