County approves amendment to ambulance interlocal agreement tied to grant funding
Summary
Hutchinson County commissioners approved an amendment to its interlocal agreement with the city of Borger so grant funds (referenced in the meeting as House Bill 3000) can cover ambulances or associated equipment; approval was contingent on staff making the revisions described by county attorney.
Hutchinson County's commissioners approved an amendment to an interlocal agreement with the city of Borger to align the county's contract language with requirements of a new ambulance service provider grant (referred to in the meeting as House Bill 3000).
County Attorney (speaker 12) summarized the changes: the amendment clarifies that, if the county receives grant funds under the ambulance service provider grant, the county may pay for an ambulance and related modifications, accessories or equipment authorized by the grant. He said payment could be made either directly by the county or by reimbursing the city once invoices are submitted. "This amendment is contingent upon the county obtaining those funds," the county attorney said, explaining the amendment keeps most contract language from the 2023 agreement intact but adds the new payment provision and updates the agreement term to be effective for five years from the effective date.
County leadership told the court the county had already received funds and the city was prepared to equip ambulances; the county attorney said he would revise the draft to reflect the mechanics discussed, then the judge could sign and submit it to the city for their approval. The commission moved to approve the amendment contingent on those changes and carry out the execution steps described by the county attorney.
No formal roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript; the motion passed after the court voted "all in favor."
