One of the contracts that will be re-negotiated before this year is the EMS contract between Kerr County and the City of Kerrville. As our budget process is fast approaching I thought it would be a good idea to look at alternatives to the current contract. I am optimistic that we will come to an agreement with the City of Kerrville. However, as the budget process is about to begin and we have not yet received a proposal from the City of Kerrville, we may want to consider other options. For this reason I feel it would be prudent to discuss contracting with a private company to provide this service. This discussion may be of assistance in our discussions with the City of Kerrville.
