Fire chief wants county to distribute CARES money to special districts
by Mark Cowling | Florence Reminder & Blade Tribune
A fire chief says special services districts were slighted in the first round of federal COVID-19 funding, and he is asking the Pinal County Board of Supervisors to help remedy the matter.
Mike Farber, chief of the Superstition Fire & Medical District, told the board Wednesday that special districts were left out of the early rounds of U.S. CARES Act funding for expenses related to COVID-19.
The latest law says special districts “should” receive funding, but they would be left out again without the supervisors’ actions.
