Special City Council Meeting - Jul 27, 2026
Troy switched to Star EMS in January after problems with the previous provider, and six months of data show real improvement — most emergency calls arrive within about seven and a half minutes, though the six-minute travel goal from a 2024 study isn't fully met. Council debated whether that goal is realistic and whether the city should change dispatch or deployment models.
City Council - Apr 27, 2026
Council Member Gunn flagged that emergency responses jumped about 54% from February to March (372 to 572) and pressed for analysis of when and why response times slip; a full EMS performance evaluation is set for July 27.
City Council - Mar 23, 2026
Two months into the new contract, EMS response times are already beating seven minutes 90% of the time — far better than the prior provider, which often couldn't meet eight minutes. Council members are encouraged but want root-cause analysis on the delays that remain.
