City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />February 24, 2021 <br /> <br />Administrator Statz noted that one of the things they just learned with the fire study was that their <br />dispatch time is a bit concerning and thinks the average dispatch time was just over 3 minutes. He <br />stated that he would like to explore that in greater detail and noted that it was across both Circle <br />Pines and Centerville. He noted that he wanted residents to be aware that the 5 minutes 26 seconds <br />timeframe was not from the time they call 911. He stated that he would also like to point out that <br />the City is lucky that is has a choice in EMS providers and had overlapping options between M <br />Health and Allina. He explained that the City used Allina for a number of years who had <br />contracted out with North Memorial and the City has now switched to M Health. He stated that <br />the City is not obligated to remain with M Health and has the freedom to switch back if they so <br />choose. He explained that one other thing to point out is that the ambulance service does not cost <br />the City anything and is something that M Health makes from their charge for services to the <br />patient or their insurance company. He stated that M Health is paying rental fees for use of the <br />fire hall. He stated that he would like to have representatives from M Health report to the Council <br />at least annually and perhaps every 6 months. <br /> <br />VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> <br />1.
