Committee forwards 2027 EMS budget pending county agreement on added staff
Summary
Finance presented two EMS budget options for 2027 — a cost-to-continue plan and one with four additional FTEs — and the committee approved forwarding the budget submission contingent on county agreement to fund the extra personnel.
Finance Director Emily presented the 2027 ambulance/EMS budget and two scenarios: a cost-to-continue plan using current staffing and an alternate version that adds four FTEs. Emily told the committee she used a 10% placeholder for health insurance pending a September renewal. "I have a 10% increase as a placeholder in there," Emily said while noting the final insurance figure will be known in September.
Committee members discussed that the expanded budget would be forwarded only if the county agreed to pay for the additional personnel and recognized that any negotiated county agreement would alter the budget. The committee moved and seconded the recommendation to submit the EMS budget to Lincoln County; the motion carried.
