The Board of Supervisors voted on May 21 to adopt a resolution establishing written policy related to 911 emergency ambulance transportation and related service contracts for the county's exclusive operating areas.
Supervisors amended the resolution on the floor to replace multiple references to "medical services" with "ambulance services," a change Health Care Agency staff said had been agreed to during prior discussion. Mindy Winter Zweig, identified in the meeting as director of specialized medical services at the Health Care Agency, confirmed the wording change and explained the revision reflected that the contracts govern ambulance transport services rather than broader medical-service provisions.
One supervisor acknowledged ongoing negotiation and said Orange County Fire Authority had raised additional requests but was not present for the vote; the board confirmed that the fire authority remained eligible to apply and bid on the contract. The board moved, amended, seconded and approved the resolution as amended; the meeting record shows the motion carried unanimously.
The board did not publish the amended resolution text at the moment of the vote; staff indicated amendments could be offered from the dais if necessary to match the agreed language and to ensure the document before the board reflected the changes.
