Resolution In Support of the City of Chaska's Request to
Upgrade their Advanced Life Support Ambulance Service
This past summer, staff invited Matt Podhradsky from the City of Chaska to
attend one of the Council's work sessions for an update on their intent to
upgrade their Basic Life Support License to an Advance Life Support
Ambulance License. As a part of this upgrade, Chaska is also seeking
modification to its current primary service area to include portions of
Chanhassen (see attached map). As a part of their application, they are
requesting a Resolution of Support from the city that will be submitted as
evidence at the license upgrade hearing.
The newly developed service area will result in a decrease in the time it takes to
get to a service call. This is also Chanhassen's future growth area, which will
undoubtedly experience greater call volumes as the area develops.
Based on this information, staff recommends that the City Council approve the
resolution supporting Chaska Ambulance in their efforts to upgrade their Basic
Life Support license to an Advanced Life Support (ALS) license and to change
the primary service area to include a portion of Chanhassen.
ACTION NEEDED: Simple Majority.
