Council member Richard Yarrington moved that the Ambulance Commission work with City Treasurer Justin Derhammer to create a vehicle replacement fund and show it as an expense in the operating budget; the motion passed.

The directive, discussed April 30 at the Tomah Public Safety Building, asks the treasurer to collaborate with commission staff to draft a fund structure and bring details back to the commission for placement on a future agenda. City Treasurer Justin Derhammer participated by Teams during the discussion.

The commission did not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes; the entry states only that the motion carried. The minutes do not specify funding sources, target replacement schedule or the initial contribution amount; those specifics were deferred to follow‑up work with the treasurer and will appear on a future agenda.

The action follows routine fleet maintenance updates presented in the director’s report, which noted scheduled remounts for specific units and rising fuel costs.
