Summary
The Elk County Commission approved a $104,000 transfer from the Windfarm Fund to the EMS Fund after EMS Director Gillian Beaumont reported 20 runs in September and collections of $13,939.68.
Gillian Beaumont, Elk County EMS director, reported 20 total ambulance runs in September and said the service collected $13,939.68 in that period. Commissioners approved a transfer of $104,000 from the Windfarm Fund to the EMS Fund to support operations.
The transfer was proposed by Commissioner Doug Hendricks and seconded by Commissioner Perry Russell; the motion carried 3-0. Beaumont told the commission she had interviewed an EMT the day before, and the funding move is intended to support staffing and operational needs identified in the EMS report. The transcript records the financial figures presented by Beaumont and the formal vote to move the funds.
Next steps: the transfer will be processed per county fund procedures and will appear in the EMS fund records; commissioners did not attach additional conditions in the meeting.
