After postponing a decision to contract with a private ambulance service provider last month, Pflugerville City Council has agreed to a deal for emergency services in the city.
Officials made the decision during a Nov. 9 meeting, and the deal involves Acadian Ambulance Services, LLC, which would begin providing services Jan. 1.
Council Member David Rogers said Nov. 2 the fact that Acadian is not charging the city as part of the contract and will subsequently rely on billing for revenues served as an attractive element of the deal.
On Oct. 30, Travis County commissioners Jeff Travillion and Brigid Shea issued a statement condemning the contract with Acadian and calling on all residents of Pflugerville and in its extraterritorial jurisdiction to vote yes on a Nov. 2 ballot initiative for the newly created ESD No. 17 overlay district to annex both areas.
