Commission says county will not enter contracts with cities for ambulance service
Summary
Auditor Sherman presented a Montrose finance officer email proposing city payments and a contract to pass funds to McCook County Emergency Medical Services; Commissioner Koch, citing States Attorney Fink, told the board the county will not enter such contracts or accept city checks to pass on to the EMS provider.
Auditor Geralyn Sherman presented an email from the Montrose finance officer that described Montrose paying McCook County in 12 equal installments and referenced a contract between the city and county to pass payments to McCook County Emergency Medical Services (owned by BJ Stiefvater). Commissioner Dean Koch said, citing States Attorney Fink, that the county will not enter into contracts with cities for ambulance service because the county does not provide the ambulance service and will not accept city checks to be passed on to McCook County EMS.
No vote or formal contract action was taken; the record shows the county clarified its position and the matter will require further coordination between Montrose city officials and the ambulance provider.
