service compared to income derived from it. He indicated that in 1983 $414,304 was
budgeted forthis service, he indicated the revenue was $121,110, therefore, $293,204
was subsidized. He indicated that the overriding consideration in establishing this
new fee schedule is the charges allowed and payable by health insurance policies,
Medicare and 'Medicaid, for ambulance services. He indicated it was the intention of
this proposed fee increase to take advantage of the maximum allowable insurance coverage
while minimizing any additional out of pocket expenses to the citizens. He indicated
the basic fee would be increased to $75; mileage fee $1.75; oxygen fee $15; emergency
fee $15; and EKG /Monitor $25. He indicated the last increase for user fees was in
1981. Council Member Crone made a suggestion that the Council review the fees once a
year. Council Member Beck indicated she would like records kept in 1985 showing who
is serviced, who much is covered by insurance, etc. She indicated she would like to

this bill. Steven Drendall, co -chair of Common Cause, spoke against this bill. Council.
