What is the amount a county or municipality must spend each year on emergency services?
Under sec. 79.07, Wis. Stats., a county or municipality must spend an amount equal to or greater than the amount spent on emergency services in 2009. If a county or municipality reduces the amount spent on emergency services below the 2009 base amount (or adjusted 2009 base amount), it may be subject to a penalty. DOR encourages submission of a written explanation of the differential. A sufficient rationale would eliminate any penalty.
