Alexander City Council approves multi‑year agreement with Haines Ambulance
Summary
The council voted 6-0 on May 4 to approve a resolution extending the city’s ambulance transport agreement with Haines Ambulance from an initial one‑year term to a four‑year term; staff said the previous one‑year arrangement proved effective and the extension continues hospital transport services.
The Alexander City Council unanimously passed a resolution on May 4 authorizing an amended agreement with Haines Ambulance to provide ambulance transport services in the city for a four‑year term.
According to the chief, the city previously used a one‑year trial agreement to evaluate service and found it worked well. "We did the agreement with the Haines… we did for one year just to make sure it was gonna work good," the chief said, and after discussions with the mayor the city proposed a four‑year extension to maintain continuity of transport services.
Council considered the resolution under unfinished business, heard from the chief and then approved the measure by voice vote; the transcript records the motion passing 6‑0.
What it changes: the amendment extends the contract term from one year to four years and adds clarifying language the chief described during the presentation. No additional budget increase was announced during the discussion.
Next steps: the council approved the resolution and no further action was listed on the agenda; staff will proceed under the amended agreement.
