Why am I always suspicious of new posters? I’m always trying to guess who they were before they got banned.

I've voted so it really doesn't matter now. All I can hope for is that the better answer wins, whatever that may be. To me, it is not about winning and losing, but how it effects the community. Just like when voting for anything else. Hopefully, everyone else on here will think the same way. On the other hand, it is only human nature to want to save the money you earned and not have it spent frivolously by someone else.

Question. The two fire departments took over the ambulance service 10-1 Is the cost of that service in the budget numbers that you are taking out in your calculation? How was the ambulance paid for in the past, was it all from transport fees or was the county paying for part of the contract. Thanks for the article.

Cost of Ambulance Services
In the county budget, you deduct the two fire department fundings and determine the amount the rate should go down. Does that number include the cost of running the ambulance service for the new fiscal year or is that elsewhere in the budget?
How was the ambulance service paid for in the past? Was it all from transport fees or did the county pay part of the cost to provide those services? thanks for the info |

Quote:
There is a line in the VCCDD budget this year for $5.3M for VPSD Transport Revenues. My *guess* is these are the transport fees. There is no such line in the county budget for previous years so my *guess* is that AMR was funded by $1.5M of county money plus close to $6M of transport fees they collected directly. The SCFD budget increased by $3M and the VPSD budget increased by $1.5M in the 2022-2023 budget to get to the $37M total for fire services. This amount must include staffing for the ambulances since the fire departments will now provide that service (and it does not appear elsewhere). The $37M used in the calculations of the cost of the VPSD and SCFD includes the ambulance service being provided by them.
