EMS in Brattleboro – On the Agenda Tuesday May 17 Selectboard
It is important that Selectboard members hear from Brattleboro residents on how our Emergency Medical Response service to the town will work, going forward.
A change to the delivery of EMS was agreed to by the Selectboard at the April 19 meeting. This week’s board meeting will cover a proposal for a feasibility study, to include EMS. See item 8 (B) on the attached agenda for this Tuesday, May 17 at 6:15pm. In-person and remote joining details are below.
A general observation –
When the $25,000 for the Fire Department strategic plan was approved in the budget at RTM on March 19 of this year, there was no public indication that Rescue Inc would no longer be providing EMS services. Community input absolutely needs to be a part of any strategic plan for this service, following the example of other towns. Therefore, in this proposed feasibility study, “all options should be on the table.”
Q & A – The Brattleboro Website RFP
Hey. I see in the agenda that your web design company, MuseArts, didn’t get the gig to do the new town website…
– That is correct!
Sorry to hear. Your bid must have been too high, eh? Didn’t like your response to the RFP?
– Nope. They never saw our proposal.
Okay, now I’m confused… did you want to respond to the RFP?
Brattleboro Selectboard Agenda and Notes – May 17, 2022
The Brattleboro Selectboard will award a contract to a web developer for the redesign of the Town website at their next regular meeting. They’ll also approve of a contract for an EMS feasibility study.
You can bring up other items not on the agenda during public participation.

Selectboard Meeting Notes – Openness, Transparency, Parklets, and Housing
Members of the public scolded the Brattleboro Selectboard again for poor communication regarding their recent EMS decision. After, the board discussed removing some mentions of transparency and openness from their goals while patting themselves on the back for already having an open and transparent process.
They discussed other goals, then heard presentations about some exciting, possibly large housing projects going through the planning process. They also discussed improving the parklet program.
