MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) The Davison-Hanson County Ambulance District board is working out details for funding rural EMS services. At a meeting this week, the board approved a contract with the city of Mitchell for emergency medical services, discussed special assessments, and considered adding $100,000 to the $700,000 rural voters approved. The board is leaning toward a tax based on the number of doors on homes and businesses rather than land or property value. Final figures are still being gathered, with a decision expected at the next meeting on Thursday. The district’s first assessments will help cover startup costs and staffing, but not equipment like ambulances. For more Government stories from MitchellNow.com, Click Here.
