Mulga council approves $36,126 emergency medical contract with Minor Heights Fire Department
Summary
The Mulga council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2024-12 to contract with Minor Heights Fire Department for emergency medical services through Sept. 30, 2025, authorizing payment of $36,126 and directing the town to draw from the gas reserve to fund the contract.
The Mulga Town Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 2024-12 on Oct. 1, 2024, to contract with Minor Heights Fire Department for emergency medical services through Sept. 30, 2025, at a stated amount of $36,126.00.
Mayor W. Keith Varner presented the resolution and said the final contract will reflect an 8% increase "with the contract in hand." Councilmember Lisa Armstrong moved to adopt the resolution; Councilmember Jeremy Davis seconded, and a roll-call vote was recorded in which all members voted yes.
Council members directed that the town make the full payment for the contract by drawing the funds from the town's gas reserve. Mayor Varner framed the decision as an operational necessity to secure emergency medical coverage for Mulga residents.
The resolution text, as presented at the meeting, sets the contract period through Sept. 30, 2025, and lists the $36,126.00 payment; the council noted a planned 8% adjustment when the executed contract is finalized. No further contract details (such as service levels, response times, or penalties) were read into the record at the meeting and therefore are not specified.
The council passed the measure as part of routine business; the next procedural step is finalizing and executing the written contract with Minor Heights Fire Department and updating town accounting records to reflect the transfer from the gas reserve.
