Officials say ambulance contract with Lincoln County under formal negotiation; city cites 2008 agreement
Summary
Fire Chief Klug told the Health and Safety Committee the city has begun formal negotiations with Lincoln County over an ambulance contract that dates to 2008 and currently funds staffing for nine full-time positions; committee members were briefed on committee participants and budget timing.
Fire Chief Klug told the Health and Safety Committee on July 27 that the city has begun formal negotiations with Lincoln County over the ambulance service contract, which he said "the current contract that we're operating from is from 2008." He described the agreement as one that effectively pays for nine full-time positions and covers associated ambulance costs.
Klug outlined the negotiation process and the committee composition: city representatives include the mayor, the administrator, the fire chief and the finance director; county representatives include the county administrator, corporate counsel and an elected official from the county public-safety committee. "It's a work in progress," Klug said, and he noted the contract and related ambulance budget must move through county committees before the county can adopt its budget. No formal action was taken by the Health and Safety Committee at this meeting beyond the report; the chief said further informational sessions are scheduled as part of the negotiation timeline.
