Louisa County supervisors say EMS fund does not cover ambulance salaries; discuss reimbursement options
Summary
Board members concluded Emergency Medical Services (EMS) funds are not listed to pay ambulance salaries and discussed alternative reimbursement approaches; Supervisor Shawn Maine will attend an upcoming EMS board meeting to pursue options.
County staff and board members on Sept. 3 discussed whether the Louisa County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) fund may be used to pay ambulance personnel salaries. The board recorded that salaries are not on the list of approved expenses for the fund.
Adam Parsons reviewed the EMS fund rules with the board and outlined potential approaches for supporting ambulance services, including filing reimbursement requests to the fund or seeking preapproval from the Board for larger expenditures. The minutes record follow-up planning rather than a definitive policy change.
Supervisor Shawn Maine said he will attend the next Emergency Medical meeting to continue discussions with EMS board members about funding mechanisms. The board directed staff to explore specific reimbursement pathways and thresholds for preapproval, according to the minutes.
The minutes do not record a vote on changing fund-eligibility rules or a directive to reallocate fund authority; rather, the record shows a clarifying discussion and further engagement planned with EMS stakeholders.
