Commissioners press for dispatch and ambulance agreements with Pioneer and city before new fees take effect
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to ensure a dispatch-fee agreement and an ambulance mutual-aid agreement are finalized with Pioneer and Baker City before any new fees are implemented, citing the county's role in ambulance district oversight.
During the meeting, commissioners raised the status of a dispatch-fee agreement and an ambulance mutual-aid agreement involving Pioneer (the ambulance district provider) and Baker City.
Commissioners said they want the county to receive copies of any agreements that affect county responsibility for ambulance services and dispatch before fees are charged to the public. Staff said the agreements are being drafted and that the county will request copies once final.
The board asked county staff to follow up with city and Pioneer officials so that any fee or service changes are supported by signed agreements and consistent with the county's ambulance district oversight responsibilities.
