To see if the Town will vote to transfer from the Ambulance Receipts Reserved for Appropriations account the sum of up to $150,000 (One hundred fifty thousand dollars), pursuant to any applicable statute, for the purpose of purchasing a 2007 Class One, Type III A-B Ambulance and equipment to meet all state and federal specifications; or do or act relating thereto.
Sponsor: Ambulance Department
Summary: The Bolton Ambulance Squad is requesting these funds to replace our existing ambulance which is on a 1997 Ford chassis with 43,205 miles on it. A 911 emergency response vehicle such as this ambulance experiences very harsh operating conditions that a normal vehicle is not exposed to. During its tenth year of service, we are experiencing increasing costs of repair and maintenance in order to keep the ambulance up to operating standards. Recent inspection by the Office of Emergency Medical Services within the Department of Public Health has also brought forth deficiencies due to rusting. A new ambulance would allow us to deliver the high quality services that the
citizens of the Town deserve and expect.
Board of Selectmen Recommendation: Approved
