It is technically owned by Blount govt indeed as they own the back haul equipment for those sites and manage the users (more complicated then this but written in simple terms as I am not writing a 600 page legal document here LOL). Blount is the voting partner in the TVRCS minutes and Blount govt is assigned that Talkgroup as part of thier "block" and can assign the TG as they wish (that's what they pay for), AMR is only on the talkgroup as a contracted partner for Blount County with Blount's blessing, but Blount can remove AMR off the TG if the contract is cancelled, terminated, transfered, etc etc etc or any other legal term. For Profit ground transport EMS companies are not allowed to have Thier own primary assigned Talkgroup on the TVRCS zones, they are only allowed to contract with a govt agency and use that govt agencies TG pool for the sole purposes written on such contract and agreement. So, as soon as the contract is no longer valid (only speaking about Blount County assigned trucks right now) AMR loses it's privilege to be on that Blount govt TG, but they will still be allowed to have access to the statewide mutual aid TGs for the sole purpose of running mutual aid for a govt agency within this state and MED TGs. As that is permissable under a TVRCS MOU agreement.
PS. It doesn't matter to me what you label it. I don't go by R/R labels anyway..and I don't want you to think I am complaining, just explaining.
