Trustee advances first reading of ambulance-cost agreement with state agency
Summary
Trustee David Lilly moved a first reading of Resolution #24-20 to enter an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services to increase cost coverage for advanced and basic life‑support ambulance runs; Attorney Boyle said the change would raise revenue for the village fire department.
Trustee David Lilly moved, and Trustee Cheryl Dunlap seconded, a first reading of Resolution #24-20 to authorize an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services intended to increase payment coverage for advanced life‑support (ALS) and basic life‑support (BLS) ambulance services.
Attorney Boyle told the board the agreement is designed to provide a higher level of medical cost coverage for the fire department’s ambulance runs, which “equates to more revenue for the Village,” according to the meeting record. The motion passed on a roll call vote with Ayes recorded by Trustees Cynthia Eaves, David Lilly, Cheryl Dunlap, Randall K. Blakey and Kirk D. Marshall; Trustee Rolanda Clark was absent at the time noted earlier in the minutes.
The item was presented as a first-read resolution; the board did not indicate final adoption language beyond the recorded motion. Village staff said additional details and implementation steps will be provided as arrangements with the state agency are finalized.
