<br /> ---- <br /> , <br /> II-A-7 D. Proposed rate increases for ambulance and mobilchair services <br /> Manager explained the requested rate increase had been ten percent, <br /> e with Springfield Council and local staff proposing an 8.2 percent <br /> increase. He said there had been some disagreement on mobilchair rates <br /> and ultimately the subcommittee had recommended a hearing with six <br /> alternatives to be considered: 1) Adopt a zone charge as passed by <br /> Springfield Council of $7 plus $1 per zone for which the mobilchair <br /> passes, with no charge for return trips; 2) go to a base rate for <br /> pickup anywhere in the city of $8 plus .50 cents per transported <br /> mile; 3) leave the rate at $5, but allow a charge for return trip of <br /> $5; 4) leave the rate at $5, but allow a charge for return trip of <br /> $2.50; 5) decide not to regulate the mobilchair rates and regulate <br /> only the ambulance rates; 6) keep the rates at the current level of <br /> $5, and provide from City funds a payment to the ambulance service for <br /> the $18,000 deficit. <br /> Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. <br /> Mr. Obie expressed support of Alternative No.4. In addressing the <br /> issue of how often the rate increases should be reviewed, an annual <br /> review was considered to be appropriate. He also noted the expansion <br /> of services proposed by the ambulance company. Mr. Haws also expressed <br /> support for Alternative 4. <br /> Res. No. 2742--Concerning rates for ambulances and mobilchairs and <br /> amending resolution No. 2517 adopted June 14, 1976, was <br /> read by number and title. <br /> e Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution, <br /> and to include mobilchair rates as outlined in Alternative 4. <br /> Roll call vote.
