Grant County commissioners hear road department staffing update; chair reports Miller EMS awarded 522 Ambulance contract

Commissioners received brief operational updates from county road officials and a report on ambulance services at the March 5 Grant County Board of County Commissioners meeting.

Vice-Chair Keith McClure said road crews (D1) are working on equipment and are waiting for conditions to dry following recent rain. Commissioner Craig Fredrick said D2 crews are preparing for a road agreement project with PSO that is anticipated within the next three months and noted the department is short one employee and lacks a grader. Chair Steve Stinson said D3 work is "business as usual," including hauling rock and shale on larger projects.

Stinson also reported he attended a recent meeting of the 522 Ambulance Board, saying one bid was submitted for contract service and "Miller EMS [was] awarded the bid." He added that the board is "working hard and doing a tremendous job for the citizens of Grant County." The minutes record no further discussion or a formal county-level action on the ambulance contract within these minutes.

The meeting opened at 9:00 a.m. and adjourned at 9:21 a.m.
