The divide between cities and Dale County government is widening and this dispute appears headed to court.
OZARK, Ala. -An anticipated lawsuit would seek to stop Dale County Commissioners from awarding the bulk of Emergency Medical Services funding to rural providers.
“This makes the number of people not being served over 30,000,” Pinckard Mayor Bobby Borland told county commissioners on Tuesday, when they gave final approval to the plan.The mostly rural funding comes despite EMS services in cities making the bulk of runs in the county—over 80 percent-- but will receive only minimal funding for small areas they serve outside their city limits.
But Dale County Chairman Steve McKinnon believes the commission’s obligation is to rural EMS because cities have their own ARPA funds from Washington that could bolster their emergency services.He believes the county is on sound legal footing with its funding plan and predicts it will prevail during the anticipated courtroom showdown.
