The South Washington County Ambulance Service provides ambulance service to the

Emergency Medical Services to Grey Cloud island tnrough a service contract. This

of the actual costs of service and is consistent with the recommendation of the
South Washington County Ambulance Governance Board.

continue to provide emergency medical services through an Emergency Medical
Services Co�tract between the city of Cottage Grove and the Township of Grey
Cloud Island, that the Cottage Grove City Council approve the attached agreement
for the years 1998 and 1999 and authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to
execute the contract.
ACTION REQUIRED

SUBJ: Grey Cloud 1998 & 1999 Sowashco Contract
As you know, we did not have a 1998 contract from Grey Cloud for medical services. I have
discussed the issue with Rich Muliins, Grey Cloud Administrator. He submitted the attached
proposal to the town board, which they approved.
They wiil be sending the check for the 1998 fees to our o�ce shortly.
They wili be sending the signed contract to us also. I do not know if we need a counsel resolution
accepting the contract from our end. if so, please let me know if you want me to get this i�
resolution format. I do not have the signed contract from them at this time.
As for fees, i increased the service fee to Grey Cloud 5% for 1998, and the another 5% for 1999.
All patient biliing fees wiil be the same for Grey Cloud residents as it is for Cottage Grove residents
for each year of this contract.
Thank you.
