Court approves rural ambulance subagreement with Ventura, after liability questions
Summary
The court discussed liability and reporting requirements for a rural ambulance service grant and a proposed subagreement with Ventura; after staff said insurance and reporting language are in the subagreement, a commissioner moved and the court approved accepting the grant/subagreement by voice vote.
The court considered acceptance of a rural ambulance service grant and a subagreement with an external provider (referred to as Ventura in staff remarks). Commissioners asked whether the county would be liable for operational errors by the ambulance provider and whether reporting and insurance obligations were included in the subagreement.
Staff said the subagreement carries insurance and reporting provisions intended to limit county liability and to require annual reporting back to the grants agency. After that explanation, Commissioner (Speaker 7) moved to accept the subagreement; a second was called and the court carried the motion by voice vote. An amount referenced in discussion was approximately "$349,800," though the precise contractual instrument and final tally will be included in the formal minutes and contract documents.
