Benton County approved Resolution 26‑59 on a motion to accept a signed 28E intergovernmental agreement with the City of Ionia to govern first‑line emergency medical services.
Derek, a county staff member, told the board that the City of Ionia had signed the agreement and that it matches the county’s policy provisions for filling service gaps. "If you guys don't have any questions, I think it's good to sign," Derek said before the board took action.
A motion to accept Resolution 26‑59 was made and seconded; the board recorded affirmative votes from Tippett, Freeman and Holmes and the motion carried. Derek stated the agreement term is three years during the discussion.
