Boulder Council approves Pintler for ambulance billing and spends $4,500 to pursue wastewater PER grants
Summary
Council approved a new ambulance-billing contract with Pintler to replace Solestone and authorized $4,500 to hire grant administrator Lori Benner to seek funding for a preliminary engineering report for wastewater plant upgrades.
The Boulder City Council voted May 19 to switch ambulance billing services to Pintler and to spend $4,500 to pursue grant funding for a preliminary engineering report (PER) for wastewater treatment-plant improvements.
Ambulance Director Molly Carey reported to the council that the contract with Pintler was finalized in coordination with City Attorney Ed Guza and that the new vendor is expected to improve billing performance after the current vendor, Solestone, was described as 'extremely unsatisfactory.' Councilmember Drew Dawson moved to approve the contract and the motion passed 4–0.
Separately, City Administrator Brian Bullock presented a $4,500 bid from grant administrator Lori Benner of Nittany Grantworks to research and apply for grants that would pay for a PER for the wastewater plant. The council approved the expenditure by a 4–0 vote, with Bullock tasked to report back on any grant awards and to place updates on the next council agenda.
Both actions were approved unanimously at the meeting; council records show the ambulance contract and the grant‑application engagement are intended to address service quality and capital‑project funding, respectively. Staff indicated they will return with updates as the billing transition and any grant applications progress.
