Proposed Marshall County EMS plan would add 28 staff and four ambulances, keep volunteers involved
Summary
The task force recommended a paid staffing model of 28 employees and four ambulances (three in Marshalltown, one in State Center) while integrating existing volunteer services; Marshall County would be the taxing authority and the City would manage operations.
The task force presentation laid out operational staffing and asset plans for the proposed EMS district: 28 employees and four ambulances, with three units staged in Marshalltown and one in State Center. The design calls for paid personnel to provide primary transport while retaining and coordinating with existing volunteer services.
Governance and operational responsibilities were described separately: Marshall County would act as the taxing authority providing financial oversight, and the City of Marshalltown would manage day-to-day operations, human resources and personnel management. The plan also envisions an oversight board to guide system policy and operations.
