Council approves appropriation to cover county EMS contractual obligations through year end
Summary
Wood County approved an additional appropriation to cover contractual ambulance/EMS obligations, to be transferred to the county's nonreverting EMS fund; staff said the action covers expenditures already spent and remaining contractual payments for the year.
The county approved an additional appropriation for the public safety fund to cover contractual ambulance and emergency medical services obligations.
Officials said the appropriation will be transferred into the county’s nonreverting EMS fund (fund 4000) because that is where EMS bills are paid and the fund was running negative. Staff described the appropriation as covering amounts already spent this year and the remaining contractual payments through the end of the year; it does not address future years’ obligations.
The council approved the motion (item 3g) by voice vote. Staff did not specify the dollar amount in the public remarks beyond noting the transfer’s purpose and that it covers current-year contractual obligations.
