See no objections. 37 B is suspended. The first item on our agenda is order 2024. Oh. Do you read this? I read this read. I read this order. 2024 dash 32 amending Melrose Revised Ordinances. Chapter 24, article two, fire Department Section 24 through 32 E. Emergency Rescue Vehicle to increase fees for medical and emergency transport services for FY 25 AKA To increase the ambulance rates, we have Ms. Golden again. Hello. Hello.
▶ 1:27:52 Speaker 4: Um, so since I'm here, I'm gonna speak on behalf of this order. Um, so I know that the ambulance budget was before you last Thursday night, and Bill Al from Pro EMS, um, was here to talk about it. So, um, as far as the ambulance rates, the last time they were changed was, uh, via the FY 22 operating budget cycle. Um, so similar to water and sewer, um, we have the same review, uh, with ambulance, but we do it through Bill Al at Pro EMS. Um, he's responsible for providing administrative services to many communities, and he kind of has a pulse on what's going on, um, in those communities. And so these were the recommended rates, um, that he put forth for fiscal 25 in order to cover the operations. Um, any bases that on, uh, types of runs, um, health insurance, product mix, all of those things. So, um, this is just to amend those rates.
