Resale of existing Ambulance: -20,000.00
Ambulance Service Contribution: -21,000.00
Net Amount due from Towns: 70,000.00 / by 2 = $35,000.00 from Lakewood & Townsend
They would be retiring the Freight Liner ambulance. The reason for asking for the ambulance now is due to new engines coming out which will reduce gas usage and increase the price of a new ambulance.
A Bridge Aid check from the County was received should just about cover the cost of the Lakewood�s share of the ambulance. This money was not budgeted for use this year, voter's can approve the funds be designated to the purchase of a new ambulance.
