Medford council authorizes City Manager to negotiate monthly staffing agreement with Miller EMS
Summary
The Medford City Council authorized the City Manager to enter a monthly staffing agreement with Miller EMS after a unanimous vote. The motion was made by Mayor Gary Bowen and seconded by Councilmember Shari England.
The Medford City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a monthly staffing agreement with Miller EMS during its March 9, 2026 regular meeting. Mayor Gary Bowen made the motion and Councilmember Shari England seconded; the motion carried with unanimous votes from Councilmembers Sinor, Kretchmar, Zeman, Bowen and England.
Council members discussed the item as an operational staffing arrangement; the minutes record that the Council’s action was to grant the City Manager authority to finalize the agreement rather than to adopt contract terms on the floor. No contract amount or term length was specified in the minutes. The approval appears intended to ensure continued emergency medical coverage under a monthly arrangement managed by city staff.
The matter was introduced during the City Council segment of the meeting and is recorded in the official minutes. Next steps noted in the minutes indicate staff will execute the agreement under the authority granted by the motion.
