I've explained it in years past, but I'll review it again. So if a 911 call comes into the police department dispatch center and it's a medical call, it's transferred to Cataldo Ambulance. They classify it, whether it's an ALS or a BLS, advanced life support or basic life support. and they dispatch ambulances from there. The annual fee is $18,000. It hasn't gone up since it was initiated some five years ago.
