Discussion:
KVFD Fire Chief, Brandon Bockstadter voiced his concern to the board that since the new implementation of Premier Estates billing started in August 2023, they have an outstanding past due account for over $8000 with KVFD . The board of Trustees will have Clerk Randall look into collections as well as late fees to be added to the bills going forward with the city Attorney.
Also KVFD Fire Chief Brandon Bockstadter is also concerned about the large amount of NON-Emergency calls from Premier Estates. KVFD is not a transport service. Chief Bockstadter is considering that the non-emergency calls should be looked at as False Reporting as it states in the Nebraska revised statutes 28-907 (1.) b & c. The statute in question is listed below. Nebraska revised statutes 28-907 (1) A person commits the offense of false reporting if he or she: (b) Furnishes information he or she knows to be false alleging the existence of the need for the assistance of an emergency medical service or emergency care provider or an emergency in which human life or property are in jeopardy to any hospital, emergency medical service, or other person or governmental agency; (c) Furnishes any information, or causes such information to be furnished or conveyed by electric, electronic, telephonic, or mechanical means, knowing the same to be false concerning the need for assistance of a fire department or any personnel or equipment of such department; |
