Speaker 5 delivered the monthly EMS financial and operations update, reporting November deposits and an annual receipts total and outlining staffing, vehicle repairs and equipment cost pressures. "The deposits for November was $110,859.37," Speaker 5 said, and later summarized total receipts for the year as $1,231,071.35 with subsidy contributions totaling $349,013.46.

The department logged 2,811 total runs in 2025, Speaker 5 said, and provided a breakdown by advanced life support, basic life support and other categories including AMA (against-medical-advice) and DOA calls. Speaker 5 directed attendees to detailed breakdown sheets included in the meeting packet for line-by-line figures.

On staffing, Speaker 5 said the department hired three employees to replace vacancies — one paramedic and two advanced providers — with two beginning service Jan. 5 and another starting Jan. 18. The speaker also said a local BOS EMT course will begin at month-end and applications are still being accepted.

Fleet maintenance and parts availability were raised as near-term operational concerns. Speaker 5 reported truck 0825 returned after an engine replacement covered under warranty, while truck 3606 remained in the shop awaiting a battery-module repair; the part was rerouted through multiple vendors and shipments and could add several days to repair time. Speaker 5 estimated a single module repair at just over $2,000.

Officials discussed long-term capital needs, including remounting ambulances. Speaker 5 and others said remount funds are not expected to be needed until 2027, but estimated a remount could cost roughly $200,000 when required. The meeting also included a vendor-cost discussion: Speaker 5 said a quote for seven new Lifepak 30-series monitors exceeded $400,000 and could be closer to $500,000, and described vendor programs such as lease-to-own and maintenance contracts with equipment firms (Stryker was mentioned). "That's why that maintenance contract...has been so important," Speaker 5 said, citing prior savings on repairs and updates.

The report also detailed recent minor vehicle damage from roadside branches and a mirror contact incident at the new Bex Mill bridge; Speaker 5 said he provided insurance information to a contact at Nat Miller Brown and is awaiting an insurance determination. The speaker said several small maintenance items and parts purchases (two iPads, fuel charges, encumbrances) are recorded in current budget encumbrances and that those will be reconciled in updated budget figures.

The meeting record shows no formal policy votes tied to the financial report itself; the items reported were informational updates and operational planning points. The next procedural step referenced by speakers was continued budget monitoring and follow-up on insurance and parts delivery timelines.
