Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Woodway and Snohomish County Fire Districts 1 and 7 formed the exploratory RFA Planning Committee a year ago.
Since then, the group made up of three elected officials from each jurisdiction has been gathering, analyzing and combining information from each agency on fire-service finances, budgets and operations.

The planning process is expected to take another year, and if feasible, could culminate in a public vote to create an RFA.
Wednesday's meeting will include a presentation and discussion on how to align finance and service level models for regionalizing fire and emergency medical service.
