OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Contracting for ambulance service.
- County may contract with a funeral director for the operation of an ambulance service, and the county is authorized to fix charges and fees for such a service, but this duty may be delegated to the operator of the ambulance service because mere collection would be a ministerial act involving little judgment or discretion. 1973 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 73-10.
