Hutto City Council renewed the city’s contract with Acadian Ambulance Services of Texas Thursday night. City Council passed the renewal with a unanimous vote after comments on the contract were provided by Hutto Chief Financial Officer Michel Sorrell. The contract runs through 2022 and grants the city to collect 3.5 percent of the receipt revenue that Acadian generates through their services. Per Sorrell, Acadian Ambulance Services transported 59 patients in Hutto from July 2015 to July 2017. The receipts collected from those rides totaled more than $19,000, and the City of Hutto collected $861 from the company as a result. Hutto’s contract with the ambulance service additionally mandates that Acadian maintains a 30-minute response rate to any calls made in Hutto. Acadian Ambulance Services of Texas is a private, non-emergency ambulance service with local operating stations in Round Rock and Travis County. Rusty Woods, Acadian Ambulance operations manager, told council members that the company’s ambulances are typically staffed with both an EMT and a paramedic. The Louisiana-based ambulance service does not have an exclusive contract with the City of Hutto and the city will collect money from any additional private ambulance service that operates within the city limits.
