The Kewanee City Council on May 13 authorized the city manager to enter negotiations with Neponset for ambulance service, directing that the initial contract be limited to one year for later council review.
Council Member Michael Yaklich expressed concern about the cost of contracting ambulance service. Mayor Gary Moore suggested negotiating a one-year agreement so the council could review the arrangement before longer-term commitment.
