Board reviews $180,000 EMS fund shortfall and seeks funding options
Summary
The Village of North Fond du Lac Board reviewed an audit showing the EMS fund is about $180,000 negative, citing lower capital revenue, overtime from injury, and a billing lapse; staff will explore separating capital from operations to clarify funding needs.
Chief Jake Flaherty told trustees the EMS fund has fallen to roughly a $180,000 deficit after a series of issues, including lower-than-expected capital funding, high overtime tied to an injury, and a lapse in billing by the new billing company. He summarized audit results and urged further review of how EMS is funded going forward.
Trustee John Duffy asked whether separating capital spending from operating accounts could provide a clearer picture of EMS finances; Administrator Nick Leonard said he would investigate separating capital from operations to help clarify the fund balance. The Board did not take formal action or adopt a funding change at the meeting; staff indicated additional discussion and options will be presented in future meetings.
The minutes record that staff and department heads reviewed weekly reports and discussed audit results; no vote or directive to implement a specific funding change was recorded.
