Ballot initiatives for the November election including a sales tax increase for county emergency medical services and dispatch center were discussed during a multi-agency work session Tuesday. Participants included elected officials and personnel from Chaffee County, Salida, and Poncha Springs. Buena Vista representatives were absent because of a town meeting. County commissioner Tim Glenn said the county subsidizes emergency services program and dispatch center from $250,000 to $1.5 million per year.
