Longer-form draft.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Residents should prepare for potential changes to EMS billing costs in Laconia. During the City Council meeting on March 23, 2026, the Fire Department provided an update regarding EMS billing revenue and ambulance fleet procurement. Crucially, an action item was identified: Chief Joubert has been directed to coordinate a formal agenda item to discuss proposed adjustments to BLS emergency and specialty care billing rates. Because these changes directly impact the cost of emergency services for every household in the city, this discussion must happen with proper public notice. Currently, no specific rate increases were voted on, but the groundwork is being laid for a formal decision. We will continue to monitor the City Council agendas and notify the community as soon as the formal hearing regarding these EMS rate adjustments is scheduled. Transparency is key when it comes to your emergency service costs. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/laconia/city-council/2026-03-23/ #MeetingWatch #LaconiaNH
