More Benton County Ambulance Town Halls Set

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

— Benton County’s plan to pay for future rural ambulance service will be discussed at the following town hall meetings:

The Quorum Court in September created an emergency medical services district with an $85 annual fee. The fee would pay the county’s cost to make ambulance service available. The Quorum Court created the district and fee for households outside cities and not in the Northeast Benton County Emergency Medical Service District.

A referendum on rural ambulance service will be held Feb. 11.
