Commissioner: IU Health Seeks Much Higher Ambulance Payment; County Negotiating
Summary
Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer told the council IU Health is asking for $850,000 for ambulance service, up from the county's current payment of $275,000; he said officials are trying to negotiate a $500,000 contract and expect EMS LIT tax revenue to cover the increase.
Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer reported the county's current ambulance contract payment is $275,000 and said IU Health is asking for $850,000. "Currently contract paying $275,000. IU Health is asking $850,000. Trying to get a contract for $500,000. EMS LIT tax should cover that," the minutes record. Borgenheimer said county leaders are negotiating and seeking a lower contract figure.
The minutes do not record a council vote on the ambulance contract at this meeting; the item was presented as an update on ongoing negotiations and the commissioner identified the EMS LIT tax as the expected funding source if a higher contract is agreed.
