After meeting in special session last Friday to
further consider proposals from three
organizations offering to provide ambulance
service to the county, Boundary County
Commissioners rejected all three, and on Monday,
they submitted a counter offer to Boundary
Volunteer ambulance. Under the counter offer, the Ambulance Service District would agree to levy at the full .04 percent rate on or before September 30 and pay Boundary Volunteer Ambulance the full amount, less $80,000 plus interest to repay a promissory note to the county. If agreed, the contract would be for two years, with county taxpayers providing BVA $175,000 for the second year of service. BVA would retain the use of the county building they now occupy at no charge during the full term of the contract, and BVA would agree to provide detailed data on services provided to county commissioners ever six months.
