Elk County approves credit-card processor for EMS collections as director flags shortfall
Summary
The commission approved an E-Services Technology Hosting Agreement to process EMS credit-card payments after EMS Director Gillian Beaumont warned the EMS account will run low and needs funds moved by the end of July. Motion passed 3-0.
The Elk County Board of Commissioners on July 13 approved an agreement with E-Services Technology to handle credit-card billing for Aim, the county's EMS billing contractor, after the EMS director warned of an impending account shortfall.
EMS Director Gillian Beaumont told commissioners that “she will need to have funds moved to her account at the end of July” because the EMS account is expected to run low. Beaumont and County Treasurer Rachel Ware presented the E-Services Technology Hosting Agreement and had County Counselor Paul Dean review it before the board voted. Commissioner Perry Russell moved and Commissioner Jake Liebau seconded acceptance of the agreement; the motion carried 3-0.
Why it matters: the agreement changes how credit-card transactions linked to EMS collections are processed and was presented alongside financial updates about EMS cash flow. The board approved the vendor motion unanimously and did not attach additional spending directives. The contract was presented as a payment-processing hosting agreement; the county's counsel reviewed it prior to the vote.
What comes next: Beaumont indicated she may request an internal funds transfer at the end of July if the EMS account balance requires it. The board did not set a separate follow-up in public minutes.
