Summary
Commissioner Cox directed that the Rich County Ambulance Board's request for bill forgiveness or payment plan assistance be placed on the Feb. agenda; discussion included possible use of the National Association of Counties' income tax garnishment program to collect outstanding bills.
Commissioner William E. Cox directed that the Rich County Ambulance Board's request for bill forgiveness or for the development of payment‑plan assistance be added to the February Commission agenda so the board and staff can explore billing options. The discussion noted that the National Association of Counties' income tax garnishment program is among the tools that could be considered to collect outstanding ambulance bills.
No formal forgiveness or payment plan was adopted at the Jan. 7 meeting; the item was scheduled for fuller discussion at the February meeting so that staff and the Ambulance Board can prepare options and potential implementation steps.
