Task force projects about $3.8M yearly to fund proposed Marshall County EMS district
Summary
The consultant-modeling presented to the joint meeting estimates property-levy revenue of $1.65M–$1.7M, a local option surtax of about $540K–$550K and $1.65M in billable revenue (at 60% collection), totaling roughly $3.8M to support operations and capital costs.
The task force presented revenue projections intended to support a proposed joint EMS district: an estimated property tax levy producing $1.65 million to $1.7 million annually, a local option income surtax projected to produce about $540,000 to $550,000, and EMS patient-billing revenue estimated at $1.65 million assuming a 60% collection rate. The presentation summed these sources to a projected total of approximately $3.8 million per year to cover staffing, operations and capital expenses.
Presenters noted that Marshall County would serve as the taxing authority while the City of Marshalltown would manage day-to-day operations; a third-party vendor would be contracted for patient billing. Officials flagged the revenue assumptions — especially the 60% billing collection rate — as a point needing confirmation during further planning and public outreach.
