Erin Schiffli, Steuben County HR Administrator, presented County Ordinance No. 1019 on second reading on June 18, 2024. The ordinance adds an employee ambulance write‑off provision and a Title VI statement to the Steuben County Government Handbook and had been tabled at the council’s May 14 meeting.
After discussion about the average time between Emergency Medical Services calls and customers receiving bills, Councilwoman Ruth Beer moved to approve Ordinance No. 1019 as written; Councilwoman Lisa Aldrich seconded. The motion carried 4–2. Council President Dan Caruso and Councilwoman Christina Cress recorded the no votes; the other four council members voted aye.
The council approved the ordinance on its second reading, and members discussed proceeding cautiously because of concerns about billing timelines for EMS services.
