Browerville council reviews department reports; ambulance billing transition and auditor extension noted
Summary
Council received reports from city departments on June 11: Liquor Store and Public Works are preparing for Browerville Days; ambulance billing moved to a new insurer-billing company while older claims remain unresolved; the city requested an audit extension from the Office of the State Auditor (OSA).
The Browerville City Council received routine department reports at its June 11 meeting covering liquor store operations, public works, ambulance billing, public safety and administration.
City staff said the liquor store submitted its monthly financial report and is preparing for Browerville Days. Public Works reported mowing, street cleaning, curb painting and event preparation.
The ambulance report indicated the city has begun using a new insurance billing company, which staff said is working out well for current claims. The minutes note there are problems with billing tied to work predating the new contract; staff said they will check whether Metro billing can assist with older claims because Xpert Billing has not been responding.
Public Safety provided a monthly report from Todd County; staff will calculate year-to-date hours of service as indicated in the minutes.
On administrative items, staff provided a fund status report and said the city sent an audit extension request to the Office of the State Auditor after the auditor informed staff they could not complete the work by the June 30 deadline. The council reviewed a nuisance report and discussed next steps.
The council later approved the set of department reports by motion; the minutes do not record further detail such as dollar amounts tied to the ambulance backlog or a new audit completion date.
