Ambulance fee changes begin June 1; cash receipts lag budget while receivables decline slightly
Summary
New ambulance rates took effect June 1; through May cash receipts were about $6,600 below budgeted pace while total accounts receivable fell modestly to $122,600 from $125,321 on January 1, 2026.
Finance Director Brian Lahey presented a new graph tracking ambulance fee revenue against budget and said new ambulance fee rates went into effect June 1. Lahey reported cash receipts through May were approximately $6,600 below the budgeted pace, but clarified the figure represented cash collected and did not reflect outstanding receivables.
Total accounts receivable stood at $122,600 at the end of May, down from $125,321 on January 1, 2026. Lahey noted this represented a reduction of roughly $3,000 and that the roll‑rate analysis shows older receivables are declining while the 0–60 day bucket increased, consistent with normal billing cycles. The committee recorded prior follow‑up details: mileage is separately billed, and the City of Brookfield maintains separate resident and nonresident rates (about a $200 difference per service level).
