A. Annual Budget: The JPB shall submit a proposed budget to the board and to the county finance director on or before August 1 of each year. The proposed budget shall include all administrative and operational costs, including those amounts due as compensation to medical service providers pursuant to subsection C of this section, and an estimate of anticipated revenues, which shall include an estimate of the amount of county tax revenues necessary for KCEMSS administration and operations. The board shall approve the annual KCEMSS budget at its annual budget meeting pursuant to Idaho Code 31-1605.
B. EMS Levy: Upon approval of the KCEMSS budget, the board shall set the amount of the EMS levy, as authorized under Idaho Code 31-3908, at its annual budget meeting in an amount sufficient to fund the portion of the KCEMSS budget to be funded by county tax revenue. The county shall assess and collect the county EMS tax levy and pay all amounts collected to KCEMSS periodically as tax revenues are received. The county shall also promptly pay to KCEMSS any monies received from any state or federal source in the form of a fee, reimbursement, or subsidy for EMS services which are properly payable to KCEMSS or a medical service provider which is a contracting party.
C. Compensation To Medical Service Providers: KCEMSS may provide compensation to medical service providers which have made a request for compensation to the JPB. Such compensation shall be as determined and approved by the JPB in the annual KCEMSS budget and shall be used only for the provision of EMS services by the medical service provider on such terms and conditions as may be contained in any agreement then in effect between the county, KCEMSS and each medical service provider. The withdrawal of a medical service provider from KCEMSS or the termination of a medical service provider from KCEMSS for cause pursuant to this chapter and the terms of any agreement then in effect between the county, KCEMSS and the medical service provider, shall relieve KCEMSS of any obligation under this section beginning on the effective date of withdrawal or termination.
