County mayor requests Emergency Service Board meeting to review ambulance service
Summary
Mayor Richard Stewart urged the Board of Commissioners to meet with the Emergency Service Board to address ambulance service problems and requested hospital involvement; commissioners directed research but no formal action or vote was recorded.
During the May 25 special called session, County Mayor Richard Stewart asked the Board of Commissioners to call a meeting with the Emergency Service Board to discuss ambulance service in Franklin County. The mayor said research is needed to identify and correct any problems and expressed a desire for the county hospital to be involved in the conversation. The minutes record these three points but show no formal motion or vote on the matter.
The discussion prompted a brief recess at the mayor’s request so Attorney Ben Lynch could conduct business; the record does not reflect additional public comment, operational directives, or a scheduled follow-up date. The item is recorded as discussion only in the minutes, with the transcript specifying that further research is needed rather than any immediate policy change or formal direction to staff.
