Bonner County Ambulance Service District approves agenda, consent items, claims and agreements
Summary
The Bonner County Ambulance Service District board adopted the meeting agenda and consent agenda, approved a $47,113.03 claims batch, authorized correction of four vehicle titles and approved medical director/dispatch agreements for partner fire districts and agencies.
The Bonner County Ambulance Service District Board of Commissioners on Oct. 15 adopted the meeting agenda, approved its consent agenda and approved several financial and interagency items, including a claims batch totaling $47,113.03 and agreements with local fire districts and partner agencies.
The board voted to adopt the order of agenda as presented and then approved the consent agenda by roll call. The board then approved Claims Batch Number 1 for fiscal year 2026, a total of $47,113.03, the meeting record shows. Chief Lindsey told the board the largest expenses in the claims batch were agency monthly contracts and that a single vehicle (unit 22) had multiple repairs, including DEF/DPF system work and a turbo replacement.
The board approved a resolution authorizing correction of a scrivener’s error on four vehicle titles that had been incorrectly titled in Bonner County’s name instead of the Bonner County Ambulance Service District. The motion authorized the chair to execute necessary documents and the board assigned a resolution number to be set by the clerk.
The board also approved medical director consent and dispatch agreements for partner fire protection districts and agencies that opted to be collaborative agencies with the district for fiscal year 2026. The list included Sago Fire District, Sandpoint Fire Department, Westside Fire District, West Pend Oreille Fire District, Northside Fire District, San Poil (?) Fire District, Schweitzer Fire District, Priest Lake EMTs Inc. and Clark Fork Valley Ambulance; Spirit Lake Fire was not included because it is part of the Kootenai County EMS system and uses Kootenai County dispatch and medical direction.
