Edited Summary of Southern Platte County Ambulance District 09 Budget with comparison to 07 and 08
Ambulance Contract
07=$325,251
08=$438,717
09=$459,588 (CPI adjustment per contract)

Total Budget
07=$348,506

Current projected surplus @92% collections of taxes = $26,965. President of the district Bobby Kincaid said collections for 08 were almost 98%. When asked what contingencies may cause use of the surplus, Mr Kincaid said "legal".

The large surplus from the initial levy in 07 of 14cents per $100 has dwindled, assisted by the levy reduction to 8 cents last year. The current contract has a CPI cap of 5%. Anticipate a renegotiation based on current costs for MAST.

Who has benefited from the formation of the District? Parkville, and some of the unincorporated areas of the County. Weatherby Lake? Not so much. Big supporters and promoters of the District = Betty Knight, Kathy Dusenbery, Mike Henderson, Paul Gross. Why did they need WL to be included in the District? Simple. Your $.
