Bruns wick, Medina County clash over EMA board representation
Medina County Emergency Management Agency Executive Committee debates representation as the Brunswick city and county commissioners clash over how many seats the commissioners should hold. The amended agreement adds five extra members beyond the seven required by law, including two commissioners and a non elected representative chosen by the commissioners. The 2023 roster includes Commissioners Aaron Harrison and Colleen Swedyk and Capt Kevin Ross of the sheriff's office. Harrison notes a past misunderstanding led to only one commissioner being appointed between 2017 and 2021. See CONCERNS, A6.
