Battle over control of Frederick County ALS program
Commissioners heard competing arguments Monday from Advanced Life Support providers and the Frederick County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association on who should govern the county ALS program. The ALS Council has not met since 1989, violating its charter, prompting calls to revise the governing body or form a new seven member board to oversee long term planning and budget analysis. The Fire and Rescue Association proposes the group take over, while Dr. Jeffrey Fillmore defends the current structure and warns against outside meddling. The commission will review comments and decide later.

Frederick County Board of Education votes against House Bill 1278 that would suspend the maintenance of effort requirement for 1996. County commissioners note the bill could ease a budget crunch, while officials warn it could widen the funding gap. Budget projections show a potential shortfall of about 10 million without current law, with the county already strained for revenue.
