SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The Minnehaha County Commission today authorized Paramedics Plus to take over decedent transport a week from Thursday when the provider replaces Rural Metro.
County Coroner Dr. Kenneth Snell says Paramedics Plus agreed to assume the current contract. But, Snell says, they didn't realize they had to provide body bags and balked at the deal.
Snell says he has enough money in his budget to buy the bags and Paramedics Plus was again on board.
The Commission approved the deal but also decided to reconsider the contract in a year.
