Richton Park proposes plan to hike ambulance fees
Fire Chief Michael Spain presented to the Village Board a plan to raise ambulance charges for non-residents only. The proposal would double basic life support from 200 to 400 and raise advanced life support from 325 to 550, with new auto extraction fees for residents 125 and non residents 250. The aim is to offset EMS costs funded by property taxes and enable insurance company billing to reduce resident tax subsidies.
