funds available in the Ambulance Fund was discussed. The
operation continues to progress smoothly with minor problems
and the collections for the Ambulance Fund in March 1980 to
approximately S733. The payment by non - members who use the

action will be initiated to collect these delinquent bills.

to the City, not to exceed $25 per run, for all emergencies
handled by the Ambulance Service outside the City Limits.
This payment will be made at the end of the County Fiscal

The breakdown of the ambulance in the past two weeks was
discussed and a report was made that the ambulance had been
fixed with a minimum of down time.
The possibility of acquiring another ambulance was discussed
and the Board indicated its desire to view the ambulance and
make recommendations to the Council when this matter was firm.
No time was set for the next meeting pending action on another
ambulance acquisition.
