Thayne Ambulance Service says new ambulance is arriving; fundraiser planned July 14
Summary
Thayne Ambulance Service reported it is finalizing purchase paperwork for a new ambulance, noted several EMT certifications completed, and requested use of the town pavilion for a July 14 fundraiser; the council was asked to coordinate paperwork processing with town staff.
Sherri Merritt, speaking for the Thayne Ambulance Service, told the council the service is in the process of purchasing a new ambulance and expected to have the paperwork by Monday, May 21. She said three people who took an intermediate EMT class passed their tests and that the service expects to receive one EMT from an ongoing basic class.
Merritt asked to use the town’s large pavilion for a fundraiser described as a street dance with a live band and food sales on July 14 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The transcript records the request and Merritt’s operational update; it does not record a formal motion or explicit council approval for the pavilion in the same segment.
Clerical processing: Merritt said the Ambulance Service would provide paperwork and ‘‘get with Caite to process everything’’ once the ambulance paperwork was complete. The council record shows no further details about permit formality or fees in the transcript.
Why it matters: a new ambulance and certified EMTs affect local emergency medical coverage; a public fundraiser requires town coordination for facility use and any relevant special permits.
What’s next: Merritt expected paperwork by May 21; town staff were flagged as the point of contact to process the Ambulance Service paperwork and any associated permits.
