This item is on the Council's agenda to authorize a refund in accordance with Carmel Municipal Code §3.06.060 that requires refunds of $1,000 or more to be approved by Council.  Specifically, §3.06.060 states that “from time to time it becomes necessary to refund certain permit fees, taxes, licenses, etc., in the normal course of City business. Upon recommendation from the Assistant City Administrator, the City Administrator or her/his duly authorized representative is authorized to approve such refunds in an amount not to exceed $1,000. All refunds over $1,000 shall require approval by the City Council.”

 

This refund pertains to ambulance transport services, which were paid by two insurance carriers. Blue Cross is entitled to a refund as the primary insurance carrier paid the full cost of services.
