The City was awarded two state grants which allowed for the purchase of two fully equipped ambulances. Staff applied for a service upgrade with an exemption from the State, seeking approval to operate in a backup capacity to our contracted ambulance provider, staffed with one EMT-Basic and one EMR level certified staff. That request has been granted with requested exemptions. Beginning March 2, 2026, the City will move forward with limited transport capability, responding when our contracted ambulance provider does not have a unit available for incoming 911 calls. Our current contracted provider is Lifestar and remains the City’s primary ambulance service. As part of this service upgrade, the City is required over the next four years to strengthen its staffing plan to support sustainable 24/7 coverage. CONSENT AGENDA Motion Matoushek, second Kunz to approve the Consent Agenda. Motion carried 5-0 on roll call. ADJOURNMENT At 5:50p, motion Kunz, second Mielke to duly call the meeting adjourned.
