Summary

Staff reported ambulance receipts and proposed salaries (including an assistant position) and health-cost impacts under a 3% COLA; commissioners agreed the ambulance fund appears improved but asked staff to confirm staffing and health-premium entries.

County staff reviewed the ambulance fund, noting charges-for-service and receipt projections and that the draft includes a 3% COLA and an additional assistant position in the salary lines. Staff said the ambulance fund is projecting cash of roughly $43,000 under current assumptions and asked commissioners to confirm whether earlier direction to revert some salary changes had been applied.

Commissioners discussed whether health-premium reimbursements were being correctly recorded and confirmed the additional assistant was still present in the '27 draft. Staff will recheck the ambulance lines and confirm the salary and benefits presentation so the department's cash position is accurate before inclusion in the published draft.
