The Council did not directly impose the higher fee at this meeting. Instead, it directed staff to start the required public process, which would give residents an opportunity to vote on the proposed assessment. If approved, the fee would support emergency paramedic and ambulance services while waiving residents’ out-of-pocket costs for those services.
