Board hears that new ambulance purchase likely tied to September tax receipts
Summary
Supervisors reviewed ambulance records and were told a new ambulance purchase is likely to occur in September when local tax receipts arrive; members flagged the timing as tight and discussed interim readiness and meetings with EMS staff.
Louisa County supervisors reviewed ambulance records and discussed timing for a planned new ambulance purchase, with board members saying the purchase may have to wait until local tax revenue arrives in September.
A supervisor reported the ambulance records had been reviewed and that a new ambulance was on track "maybe to be close in September," noting that the county's tax receipts typically come in September and March. "It's gonna be nip and tough," the supervisor said, flagging potential budget timing pressures for the EMS expenditure.
Members noted an EMS meeting scheduled for Thursday to discuss upcoming expenditures and emphasized the need to monitor the repair status of existing vehicles. County staff also reported that a repaired truck returned from the shop and that having a spare improves operational resilience while the board plans for the larger equipment purchase.
