SANDPOINT — Tuesday's lengthy Bonner County commissioners' meeting was dominated by a discussion of Bonner County EMS’ ongoing cash crunch.
The BOCC signed a resolution authorizing a tax anticipation note from Umpqua Bank in the amount of $2 million for the purpose of rehabilitating Bonner County EMS.
Bonner County EMS Chief Jeff Lindsey said the loan allows Bonner EMS to “breathe a sigh of relief.” The loan will fund Bonner EMS through January when it receives a new tranche of funds from taxes and then act as a cushion for Bonner EMS through the next year as it seeks long-term solutions to remain financially viable.
