Waugh v. Morgan County Emergency Med. Servs. Bd., Inc. (Signed Opinion)
Annotate this CaseMorgan County Emergency Medical Services Board, Inc. is authorized by the County Commission of Morgan County to collect delinquent ambulance service fees. The Board brought an action against Petitioner, the owner of a mobile home park, alleging that Petitioner owned delinquent special emergency ambulance service fees on rental units in Petitioner’s mobile home park. The circuit court granted the Board all of the relief it requested. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in ruling that (1) the Board may bring an action to collect delinquent special emergency ambulance service fees; (2) an owner and a renter may be jointly and severally liable for paying the emergency ambulance service fee; and (3) the county ordinance does not violate W. Va. Code 7-15-17 by assessing Petitioner ambulance service fees for units that were vacant on the date of assessment.
