Ambulance service. He stated that following recent meetings with City Administrator Johnson a
new service delivery model that includes an emergency response vehicle will begin in - April

for an on call EMT to respond to the station, The Elk River Ambulance is funding two
emergency response vehicles and has worked with Alllna to schedule paramedics to staff the
vehicles. Mr, Dittbenner discussed the coordinating of 911 calls with Wright and Sherburne
Counties, Allina, and Elk River Ambulance. Wright County dispatch supervisors were part of the
