(A) Parties receiving ambulance, medical, or related services will be billed directly by the Lower St. Croix Valley Fire District within 30 days of the service call. If the party receiving the service does not initiate the contact for service, but a fire or other situation exists which, at the discretion of the Lower St. Croix Valley Fire District personnel in charge, requires such services and qualifies as an ambulance, medical, or related service call as defined in § 32.02, that party will be charged for the call.
(B) The city will use all practical and reasonable legal means to collect billed service calls. The party receiving the service shall be liable for all costs of collection incurred by the city, including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees and court costs. The city, as permitted by M.S. § 366.012, as it may be amended from time to time, may collect unpaid charges against the recipient's property taxes.
(C) Billing may be directed to the insurance carrier as a reasonable effort by the city to assist the party who received the service. Any billable amount of the call not covered by a party's applicable insurance remains a debt of the party receiving service. Any bill not collected will be reviewed by City Council.
