SIOUX FALLS, S.D (KELO AM) - A three-member Minnehaha County Commission today again deferred awarding an ambulance license for an area north and west of Sioux Falls.
Commissioner Jeff Barth and Dick Kelly supported Med-Star while Gerald Beninga backed Paramedics Plus.
Beninga says Med-Star has different communication system than the Paramedics Plus group has, which is the former Rural Metro group. He says there's a concern about a communication's gap.
For the license to be awarded the three Commissioners had to vote unanimously. They'll wait for all five Commissioners to be at next Tuesday's meeting.
