The Bullard City Council finalized the agreement with East Texas Medical Center EMS for ambulance services during the monthly meeting Tuesday, April 13.

The base rates will include $440 for non-emergency transport; $750 for emergency transport; $875 for ALS2 transport; and $1,025 for special care transport. Additionally, mileage will cost $10.50 for nonemergency and $12.06 for emergency.

In other action, the council approved a request for an easement across Helmirch and Payne Drilling property located between U.S. Highway 69 and F.M. 2493; and agreed to a payment of $1,985 to Capco Engineering for services pertaining to the Courtney Drive project.

The board tabled action regarding an ordinance regulating drilling for water wells.

“I have a problem with the ordinance,” said Bullard City Councilmember Rick Kindle. “Rather than saying no wells in the city, I think we need to be more specific.”

The council will consider the ordinance more closely before taking additional action.
