Council approves shared EMS agreement; Capitol Health to station third ambulance in Presidential Lakes
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2011 2026 to add a third Capitol Health ambulance at the Presidential Lakes station under a shared-service arrangement; officials said Capitol Health will staff and supply the rig and the arrangement will not increase township costs.
Peton Township Council voted on July 1 to approve a shared-service agreement (Resolution 2011 2026) under which Capitol Health will station a third ambulance at the Presidential Lakes (PL) station to expand emergency medical coverage.
Officials said the additional unit will be manned by Capitol Health and housed at the township's PL station; Capitol Health will provide staffing and operational support, and the council stated the arrangement will not add ongoing costs to the township. The contract period was discussed as consistent with other shared-service agreements and was said to run through the end of 2028 in alignment with existing contracts.
Residents had asked about ambulance availability and whether the third rig would be continuously staffed. Council members replied it would be manned at the fire station, intended to reduce response times in the PL area and to cover certain calls in neighboring Woodland Township. The council approved the measure by roll-call vote.
Next steps and oversight: Council asked staff to confirm operational details and timing; members noted Capitol Health would also handle some services across the border in Woodland Township.
