Council approves one-year trial to stop billing for fire runs except for rural insurance calls
The Medford City Council voted on Jan. 8, 2024 to halt routine billing for fire runs for a one-year trial starting Feb. 1, 2024, while continuing to bill insurance on rural calls. Vice‑Mayor Steve Zeman made the motion and Councilmember Rick Cardwell seconded; the motion carried with unanimous votes from the five councilmembers.
