Scurry County to sign annual EMS interlocal agreement with Fort Wayne County
Summary
County officials discussed and signaled approval to sign a yearly EMS interlocal agreement to bill Fort Wayne County at an hourly rate when Scurry County resources assist; officials said the billing rate will change after January 1 and a revised contract may be drawn next year.
Scurry County Commissioners discussed an annual EMS interlocal agreement with Fort Wayne County that allows Scurry County to bill at its hourly rate when county emergency medical services assist Fort Wayne County.
Speaker 6 described the arrangement as a yearly agreement the court signs to recoup some revenue when Scurry County resources respond to and assist Fort Wayne County requests for emergency medical services. "We bill at our hourly rate based on the budget per year," Speaker 6 said, and added that the rate "will change after January 1," with a likely revised contract to be drafted in conjunction with Fort Wayne County’s new EMS director.
Speaker 2 asked whether the agreement will be signed; Speaker 6 and others indicated administrative approval and Speaker 2 said they will sign the agreement. No precise new hourly rate or effective date beyond "after January 1" was provided during the discussion.
The court indicated it would execute the current yearly agreement; staff indicated a possible redraft of terms for the next contract period under Fort Wayne County’s incoming EMS leadership.
