NEWTON — The future of emergency medical services in south Dale County remains in limbo due to severe financial problems, some created by previous years of unpaid state and federal
MICHELLE MANN employee taxes, according to the board chairman of the South Dale EMS that serves Newton, Midland City, Napier Field, Grimes and Pinckard.
South Dale EMS will receive $57,400 by December 2024 under the county’s distribution plan and Ozark EMS, serving the largest municipality in the county, will receive $38,875. Daleville EMS will receive $86,000 and Ariton/Marley Mill EMS will receive $322,875. Pruitt said he was told by McKinnon that the ARPA distribution method was mandated by the ARPA. Pruitt said he was told by Brasfield that it was not the only way to distribute the money, but the easiest way with the least amount of paperwork.
Ozark Mayor Mark Blankenship addressed the issue of the county's emergency medical services at the Dec. 20 city council meeting. “South Dale EMS has some financial issues, struggling to stay up and running,” Blankenship said, adding that he has been talking with Pruitt about viable solutions.
