Alpena Council Approves Ambulance Agreement Thu, 08 May 2008 3:43:34 
The Alpena City Council has approved a renewal of its ambulance agreement with Alpena County.The council voted Monday to approve a five-and-a-half year agreement that would take effect July 1. It calls for the city to provide ambulance service throughout the county. The amount the county pays for the service will increase 2 point 5 percent over the current rate beginning July 1. It will go up another 3 point 7 percent in 2009, then increase by five percent each year from 2010 through 2013. The county would also be required to provide $380,000 for the purchase of two ambulances and other equipment. Alpena Deputy Fire Chief Ken Hubbard said the money for the service does not come out of the county's general fund. It is paid for through a county millage. The contract must still be approved by the Alpena County Board of Commissioners. The two entities have operated under a similar system since 1980. |
