The North Mo EMS and Big Creek Ambulance District Board members and directors were in Eagleville on Tuesday to present their reasoning for their action to place a one-half cent sales tax increase and a use tax proposal on the ballot before all voters in their territory on August 4th. The North Mo EMS and Big Creek Ambulance District’s service area includes three counties in Daviess County and all but three counties in Harrison County other than three located in the southwest part of Harrison County. The presentation began with the actions taken by the board to control costs since January when the current board took control of the ambulance district. Those measures included reducing non-medical activities, reducing the staff at fairs, limiting participation at regional and state events, directing their focus toward emergency care, and reducing rescue-related costs where they could.
