Council votes to end special city council meetings tied to ambulance updates
Summary
Council voted 5-0 to discontinue a standing special meeting related to International Falls Ambulance Service updates and clarified special meeting scheduling near committee of the whole.
The International Falls City Council voted Sept. 2 to discontinue the recurring special city council meeting that had been used for updates on the International Falls Ambulance Service and clarified it would not hold a special meeting on the night of the committee of the whole.
Councilor Wagner moved to discontinue the special meeting; Councilor Bullard seconded. Councilors discussed that updates on the ambulance service are now in the hands of the county and Rainier (spelled in record as "Rainier") as they consider options. After clarification that the council did not intend to run a special meeting on committee-of-the-whole nights, the council approved the motion unanimously, 5-0.
The council’s action ends the standing special-meeting slot; the record shows the county and Rainier will continue discussions about ambulance options. No new oversight structure or alternatives were adopted by the council during the meeting.
