Officials outline EMS depreciation plan, $57,777.78 aid allocation and plan for third rig
Summary
Staff reviewed a depreciation schedule for ambulance capital, said jurisdictions will place allocated depreciation into separate accounts or CDs, and reported $57,777.78 of EMS aid was applied toward the depreciation schedule; purchase of a third rig was discussed but timing and final purchase details were not recorded as approved.
Staff provided an update on ambulance and EMS capital planning, saying townships and cities met and agreed to reconvene to confirm payments toward a depreciation schedule. “We received an allotment… and so in that aid, we took out… $57,777.78. We took out that out of that aid and put towards the depreciation of the capital,” a staff member said, describing how that money was applied toward capital so jurisdictions could catch up.
The meeting covered options for replacing a chassis versus buying a new third rig and the idea of creating a separate bank account or CD to hold allocations and track interest. Staff reported the local capital account currently holds $183,643.08 and said 51% of that rate equated to $152,941 (figures presented in the packet). Staff also said some jurisdictions had not consistently put money aside and the new approach aims to ensure capital funding is available when needed. The transcript records discussion and a recommendation to put funds into a separate account, but it does not show a formal vote to implement the new account or to purchase the third rig.
