Chair (name not stated in the transcript) announced the county committee will present a resolution for the full commission to consider a two-year ambulance service contract with RPS at the next meeting. The committee chair said the agreement would make RPS the county ambulance provider and asked the board to authorize the chairman to sign once both parties approve the contract.

Committee materials and discussion described three ambulances to be staged in Chilton County with a mix of basic life support and advanced life support staffing. The contract also includes a weekday "day truck" intended to operate about 10 hours per day to handle local calls and reduce long out-of-county transports. "That day truck person can advance and go to this scene and establish where they can wait till we get an ambulance and gets available," a committee member said, describing expected operational benefits.

Commissioners discussed fiscal terms and routing of grant funds. During the meeting a commissioner cited two inconsistent figures in the transcript about the planned subsidy: one remark referenced "212,000" while another speaker read a figure of "$12,100" per year. The transcript does not reconcile those numbers; county staff and the committee said attorneys had reviewed the agreement and that budget transfers or an annual subsidy would be addressed with the motion at the vote. As recorded in the meeting, one commissioner summarized the package as a two-year contract with an annual subsidy to be paid by the county.

The chair said the contract is intended to be effective when signed by both parties and that the county will have written terms in black and white. Committee members emphasized the arrangement aims to reduce response times and avoid tying up ambulances on lengthy interfacility transfers. They also clarified geography: the county contract would provide countywide coverage outside the city of Clayton (which was said to have a separate arrangement) and would not supersede other municipalities that have their own agreements.

No formal vote was taken during the work session. The committee will present the authority and a motion authorizing the chairman to sign the agreement; the commission is scheduled to consider and vote on the contract at its next regular meeting.
