Floyd County approves three‑year AMR contract, requests company financials
Summary
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors approved a three-year ambulance services contract with AMR on May 19 and directed the county attorney to request AMR’s financial statements after the county attorney raised concerns about uncapped incentive provisions.
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors on May 19 approved a three-year contract with AMR for ambulance services covering July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, and instructed the County Attorney to request the provider’s financial statements.
County Attorney Todd Prichard reviewed the draft contract during public comment and expressed concern about incentive provisions in the agreement, recommending that incentive amounts be capped. The Board’s updated contract reflects that request, and the Board formally directed the County Attorney to request the company’s financials before or after execution of the contract.
Tyler Trout, Charles City administrator, presented the contract overview and said AMR had not submitted the requested financials. Following the presentation, Supervisors Frank Rottinghaus and Boyd Campbell moved to approve the contract and to have the County Attorney request the financials; the motion carried 3-0.
Why it matters: The contract establishes ambulance coverage and compensation terms for three years for parts of Floyd County. County Attorney review focused on limiting incentive payments in the contract; the board’s action both approves service continuity and preserves a process for the county to obtain financial information from the vendor.
