Ambulance district corrects carryover and eyes November levy after budget adjustment
Summary
Weiser Ambulance District Director Alan Foster presented corrected June figures and an updated budget balanced at $940,227.00 after carryover corrections; commissioners discussed pursuing a November levy (filing deadline Aug. 28) to support district operations.
Convening as the Weiser Ambulance District board, Director Alan Foster presented June bank statements and a June budget-variance report, noting the district remains financially tight but in a positive position. Foster identified two corrections to the draft budget: a salary-line error for four-day medics and updated rate adjustments tied to Idaho Power data. After correcting a carryover balance from $114,844.00 to $77,831.00, the budget balanced to a total of $940,227.00; Foster and commissioners noted the budget is balanced only when anticipated carryover GMT grant funds are included (SEGS 091-094).
Commissioners and Foster discussed that the revenue figure of $862,396.00 falls short of expenditures of $902,126.00 and that the district's approach — budgeting expected grant revenue as a line item — had been used previously to produce a balanced budget. The Board discussed formally pursuing an ambulance district levy in November, with a filing deadline of August 28 and consultant work planned; no formal levy action was taken at this meeting (SEGS 092-095).
Foster said an updated, corrected budget publication format would be presented to the Board the following Monday for formal approval in time to meet newspaper publication deadlines (SEG 092).
