Suburban fire ambulance reimbursement to urban service district
Summary
Metro budgets roughly $6 million a year to reimburse suburban fire districts for ambulance runs into the urban service district. Council Member Piagentini argued the money should come from urban service district revenue, not the general fund, and OMB will follow up on the accounting. Better Metro EMS staffing could shrink the bill.
