4.10.030 Ambulance/EMS services.
A. The City hereby finds that North Pole City residents who use City ambulance/EMS services are economically justified in receiving up to a ten percent discount for said services due to the residents’ financial support of ambulance/EMS services by the payment of City property taxes.
B. The City shall, by ordinance, establish a fee schedule for ambulance/EMS services. All customers shall be billed for ambulance/EMS services at the rate provided for in the fee schedule.
1. In all cases in which the residency of the customer is in question, it shall be the obligation of the customer to, within thirty days of being requested to do so, provide all documentation necessary to establish their residency and their failure to do so shall be grounds to classify the customer as a nonresident.
2. All residency determinations shall be made by the Chief of the Fire Department and based upon a preponderance of the evidence. When a customer is determined to be a nonresident, the decision shall be made in writing and mailed to the last known mailing address of the customer, subject to an appeal to the City Council. All appeals shall be filed, in writing, with the City Clerk within fifteen days of the mailing of the written determination of residency by the Chief of the Fire Department and shall be determined by the City Council at the next regularly scheduled Council meeting. All determinations made by the City Council shall be final and not subject to any further appeal.
C. The customer, resident and nonresident, shall be legally responsible for paying all ambulance/EMS fees that are not waived or paid by the customer’s health care insurance or other third party payer, if any. (Ord. 17-25 § 2, 2017; Ord. 14-27 § 2, 2014; Ord. 11-10 § 2, 2011)
