BILOXI/GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - Monday, the Harrison County Board of Supervisors was briefed on Biloxi and Gulfport's decision to create separate emergency medical service districts to have more negotiating power for contracts and more control over the service rendered in the cities. It was reported in June that the new districts will remove the cities from the county's EMS control when the current contract expires in December. 'The contract allows for so many exceptions, it's hard to get good numbers and good articulations as far as what's required and what can be done,' Gulfport Mayor Billy Hewes told county supervisors.
