Allegany County approved a $990,000 renewal contract with Medical Transport Systems Service to maintain readiness for transporting county residents, officials said.

"We have a request for a resolution and approval of a services agreement with Medical Transport Systems Service. The amount of the contract is $990,000 for the year, works out to $82,500 per month and is specifically limited to cost of readiness for the provision of services for the residents of Allegany County," Tim Boyd (role/title not specified in the transcript) said while introducing the item and asking the body to approve the renewal.

The contract, described by Boyd as a renewal of an agreement in place for roughly two to two-and-a-half years, was brought to a motion, seconded (acknowledged by the chair as "Barnes"), and approved by a voice vote. An "Aye" was recorded and the chair declared the motion carried.

During the meeting the chair noted there was no unfinished business this month but requested that building security be returned to the unfinished-business list for the next meeting to continue discussion. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and members voiced their approval.

No ordinance or statute was cited in the transcript. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or list individual votes beyond the verbal "Aye" recorded; the mover of the motion was not identified by name in the transcript, and Barnes was recorded only as the acknowledged second.

Next steps in the record are not specified in the transcript: no dates for contract execution, implementation details, or further staff reports were provided.
