LA GRANDE â Ambulance fees are increasing in the city of La Grande, and residents enduring financial hardship because of the pandemic could get some utility bill relief.
The La Grande City Council during its meeting Wednesday, April 7, voted 7-0 in favor of bumping up ambulance fees, which the council discussed during a work session March 8.
âWe have not increased our ambulance fees since 2009,â City Manager Robert Strope told the council during the Wednesday night meeting, âand the cost of doing business, as everyone knows, continues to go up.â
In addition to the new fees, Strope said, the city is implementing one rate for people who are residents of La Grande and a higher rate for those outside the city limits. La Grande residents already are paying property taxes in the city, he said, and providing a âdiscountâ acknowledges that.
