Iola City Council members are expected to vote Tuesday on an amended contract to continue providing emergency medical services for all of Allen County.
The city and county have been renegotiating the pact, originally adopted last fall and in effect since Jan. 1.
If adopted — Allen County commissioners also are expected to vote on the pact Tuesday morning — the county will increase its funding to the city to $1 million annually, up from the existing $750,000. The contract would be good for five years, with six-month opt-out clauses for both parties.
Also on Tuesday’s agenda are 2014 budget amendments for existing EMS operations.
Council members also will discuss the city’s proposed 2015 holiday schedule; a Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant from the federal government; and reappointments of city clerk, police and fire chief, municipal judge and city treasurer for 2015.
Normally held on Mondays, this week’s meeting was pushed back 24 hours because of the Columbus Day holiday. The 6 p.m. meeting will be at the New Community Building at Riverside Park.
The public is invited.
