Commissioners approve amended EMT sponsorship agreement and note $50,000 allocation
Summary
The board amended an EMT training agreement to a sponsorship and service agreement—rather than a reimbursement—and approved it; staff said $50,000 has been set aside to pay upfront training costs in return for a three‑year service commitment to Dearborn County.
Staff explained the earlier agreement had been titled as a reimbursement but that the county intended to pay upfront training costs for EMTs and paramedics and secure a three-year service commitment in Dearborn County in return. "This is money that council has set aside for the county to be able to pay the upfront cost for these training so that we can get more EMT training," staff said, noting the language was corrected to 'sponsorship and service agreement.'
Commissioner (speaker 5) moved to approve the modified agreement; the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote. Staff noted that applicants will submit forms to Jason, forms will be reviewed in order of receipt, and funds are finite (the amount cited in discussion was $50,000). The county will execute individual agreements when the applicants are brought before the commissioners for signature.
