Summary

Bayfield County will hold a special meeting July 15 to review three competitive EMS proposals and six coverage options, with public forums planned July 22–23 and a decision anticipated at the July 28 meeting.

Brian Zieman, Bayfield County EMS coordinator, told the board that three competitive bids had been received in response to the county's RFP for countywide EMS coverage. He outlined six options for future coverage: three new proposals from bidders, a county-owned and operated basic life-support ambulance service, a county-owned quick response vehicle, or maintaining the status quo. Zieman proposed a decision timeline that includes a special meeting on July 15, public forums July 22–23, and a final decision at the July 28 board meeting to align with 2027 budget planning.

Supervisors voted to approve a special county board meeting on July 15 at 2:00 p.m. to consider the proposals. The vote was unanimous. County staff said the July meetings will include public outreach and budget implications for any recommended option.

The special meeting will focus on comparing bids, clarifying service levels, and identifying fiscal impacts to inform the July 28 decision.
