County signs Flaming Gorge Fire & EMS standby agreement for 'Freeze the Gorge' event
Summary
Daggett County approved and signed a standby services agreement with Flaming Gorge Fire and EMS for ambulance coverage at the 'Freeze the Gorge' event; commissioners authorized signatures and discussed whether the unit would be dedicated or available to respond elsewhere.
Daggett County commissioners authorized signatures on a standby services agreement with Flaming Gorge Fire and EMS District for the upcoming "Freeze the Gorge" event. Staff said the agreement is filled out and only requires commission signatures; the district will provide ambulance standby for the event but not a 100% dedicated unit, meaning responders could be dispatched to other calls if needed.
Commissioners discussed whether fees would be waived and whether the EMS would be dedicated for the event. Speaker 8 said the district would provide the ambulance but not full dedication, and Speaker 4 observed that if another call came in, the EMS could leave. Commissioners judged this level of coverage acceptable for what was described as a short event and moved to sign the agreement.
A motion to sign the standby services agreement was made and seconded; commissioners voted “Aye” and the agreement will be executed with signatures as requested.
Action and next steps: Commission signatures to be affixed to the standby services agreement; staff to coordinate event timing and confirm coverage expectations with Flaming Gorge Fire and EMS.
