This agreement is receivable in the amount of $198,000.00 per year with an increase of four per cent (4%) on July 1st. Revenue will be deposited into account #2042-461026.
Background Information:
The County has contracted with St. Elizabeth Hospital since July 1, 2000. Without this agreement they will have to look for alternative dispatching services. In the interest of local public safety this agreement is needed. This agreement also gives the fire department added revenue to fund a Communications Operator position.
