LACIE SILVA Editor M ayor Jason Turner presented the AirMed contract for ap- proval to the Jasper Board of Mayor and Alderman at a recent meeting to cover Jasper residents for life- fl ight emergencies. This contract, valued at $9,502, is reviewed and renewed annu- ally and has maintained a relatively consistent price over the years. The contract ensures that if a resident of Jasper, who is experiencing an emer- gency, within Marion County, that requires air transport due to an ac- cident or medical emergency, the as- sociated fl ight costs will be covered. Mayor Turner cited a past incident where a resident’s $18,000 air trans- port bill was fully covered by this contract, emphasizing its value and e ffi cacy. Vice Mayor Les Price con fi rmed the details and restrictions of the contract, and Mayor Turner reiter- ated that it has been a longstanding part of the town’s budget. The con- tract automatically covers all resi- dents of Jasper within Marion Coun- ty. Residents are registered through a database and receive a keychain button indicating their coverage. Alderwoman Vikki Morgan sought clari fi cation on how residents are informed about the coverage. Mayor Turner explained that a da- tabase produces a list of names and addresses for registration, and resi- dents are sent a keychain button. The board also discussed an additional, optional plan that could cover air transport costs for residents travel- ing outside the local area, such as during vacations, but exact pricing for this plan was not available. There is also an optional one-time home transfer fee for residents needing transport back home, which is part of a separate contract. Alderwoman Morgan emphasized the importance of providing this cov- erage to residents and motioned for the contract’s renewal. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Price, and the board unanimously ap- proved the renewal. Airmed Contract renewal approved to cover Jasper residents for life- fl ight emergencies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
