Discussion was had regarding the response area for the Grant County 522 Ambulance District.
Grant County voted for the 522 Ambulance District. The Board of County Commissioners need to make adjustments to the response area and then the 522 Board will move forward with other decisions. Currently the response area is split, North and South. The Board of County Commissioners determine the boundary and then the 522 Board determines how the money will be split. Questions included, if both cities keep their sole source, do they keep their share of the sales tax? Yes, as long as the city has a license and is a sole source, they can keep their share of the sai8s tax. If the city ambulance services cease, their shares would be divided equally among those remaining. The goal of the 522 Board is to go out for bids, and for it to take effect July 1, 2026. The 522 passed county wide and the ambulance district should service the entire county. This is for the people and the wellness of the people.
Stinson moved to establish the entire County as Grant County 522 Ambulance District. McClure seconded. Fredrick – aye; Stinson – aye; McClure – aye; Motion carried.
With no further business to discuss at 11: 16 a.m. Stinson moved to adjourn. McClure seconded. Fredrick – aye; Stinson – aye; McClure – aye; Motion carried.
Approved this 22nd day of December, 2025
