Sullivan City Council was asked for a $422,396 TIF district contribution toward the purchase of an ambulance at the Nov. 25 meeting.
Sullivan Fire Protection Chief Mike Piper and Assistant Chief Larry Edwards were seeking an intergovernmental agreement with the city for the ambulance purchase.
They explained the ambulance department has experienced an increase in simultaneous calls. That, along with additional care facilities in a county without a hospital, is putting more wear on the existing units.
Chief Piper explained the four ambulances are rotated, but the 2008 model purchased used from Arthur is worn and outdated.
The chief pointed out the 1200 transports required an average 54 miles, which adds wear and tear.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
